| Name | Droxinostat |
| Description | Droxinostat (NS 41080) is a selective HDAC inhibitor, primarily targeting HDACs 6 and 8 with IC50 values of 2.47 μM and 1.46 μM, respectively. It is over 8-fold more selective against HDAC3 and shows no inhibition for HDAC1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, and 10. |
| Cell Research | PPC-1 cells (1 × 104) are seeded overnight into 96-well flat-bottomed plates in 100 μL of medium containing 2.5% FCS. The next day, Droxinostat is added. CH-11 antibody (100 ng/mL) is then added and the cells are incubated for 24 hours before assessing cell viability by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) dye reduction assay.(Only for Reference) |
| Kinase Assay | HDAC Inhibition Assay: HDAC inhibition is assessed using the CycLex HDACs fluorometric assay according to the manufacturer's protocol and using crude nuclear extract from HeLa cells (principally HDAC1 and HDAC2). The relative activity is expressed as (fluorescence intensity of treated samples/fluorescence intensity of controls) × 100 |
| In vitro | Droxinostat is originally identified as a sensitizer of PPC-1 cells to FAS and TRAIL by downregulating the expression of c-Fas-associated death domain-like interleukin-1-converting enzyme-like inhibitory protein (c-FLIP). [1] In PPC-1 cells cultured in suspension but not adherent conditions, Droxinostat (20 μM–60 μM) sensitizes cells to anoikis by initially activating caspase 8 with subsequent activation of the mitochondrial pathway. Similarly, Droxinostat also sensitizes other cancer cell lines including PC-3, DU-145, T47D, and OVCAR-3, but not LNCaP or MB-MDA-468, to anoikis or CH-11-induced apoptosis. [2] However, the direct targets of Droxinostat remains enigma until recently. It is revealed that in histone deacetylases (HDAC) isoform 1-10, Droxinostat selective inhibits HDAC3, 6, and 8, with IC50 values of 16.9 μM, 2.47 μM, and 1.46 μM, respectively, without inhibiting other HDAC members (IC50 > 20 μM). [3] In MCF-7 breast cancer cells, Droxinostat (10 μM–100 μM) sensitizes cells to apoptosis by decreasing c-FLIPL and c-FLIPS expression, reducing cell survival, and inducing apoptosis. [4] |
| In vivo | In SCID mice models, Droxinostat (30 μM)-treated PPC-1 cells results in decreased distant tumor formation than untreated cells. [2] |
