A cell-permeable benzoyl dihydroquinazolinone derivative that acts as a reversible and specific blocker of AAA+ ATPase motor cytoplasmic dynein and disrupts spindle pole focusing, cold-stable microtubule formation, kinetochore-microtubule attachment, and melanosome aggregation in a dose-dependent manner (~10-40uM). Shown to perturb protein trafficking within the primary cilia and cause a significant increase in intraflagellar transport protein 88 (IFT88) levels at the distal tip of primary cilia. Reported to disrupt primary cilium-dependent Gli regulation and block Hedgehog signaling.
