MGCD0103 (Mocetinostat) is an orally active, potent and subtype-selective histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor (IC50: class I HDAC1/2/3 = 0.15/0.29/1.66 μM, class IV HDAC11 = 0.59 μM, HDAC4/5/7/8 >10 μM) that effectively inhibits cellular HDAC activity (IC50 = 450 nM; Du145, HCT15, HCT116), resulting in an upregulated acetylation of histone H3 and H4, but not that of tubulin. MGCD0103 daily orally administration (60-120 mg/kg) is efficacious against A549 & H1437 tumor growth in mice in vivo.
Orally active, potent and HDAC1/2/3/11 subtype-selective histone deacetylase inhibitor with anti-tumor efficacy in mice in vivo.
