Uses
M 344 is an inhibitor of histone deacetylases (HDACs), inhibiting maize HDAC (IC50 = 100 nM) as well as human HDAC1 (IC50 = 46 nM). It shows a three-fold selectivity for inhibition of HDAC6 over HDAC1. M 344 enhances the sensitivity of human squamous carcinoma cells to radiation and promotes cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in human endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer cells (ED50 = 2.3 μM).
Definition
ChEBI: 4-(dimethylamino)-N-[7-(hydroxyamino)-7-oxoheptyl]benzamide is a benzamide resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of 4-(dimethylamino)benzoic acid with the amino group of 7-amino-N-hydroxyheptanamide. It is a potent inhibitor of histone deacetylases and induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in several human cancer cell lines. It has a role as an apoptosis inducer, an antineoplastic agent and an EC 3.5.1.98 (histone deacetylase) inhibitor. It is a member of benzamides, a hydroxamic acid, a secondary carboxamide and a tertiary amino compound.
