PXD101, PX105684, Belinostat

Belinostat (PXD101) is a potent hydroxamate-type inhibitor of histone deacetylase activity that is cytotoxic in vitro, which enhances the effect of cytotoxic chemotherapy and delays growth in xenograft models of ovarian and colon cancer.

PXD101 was found to inhibit in vitro cancer cell growth at sub- to low micromolar IC50 potency, exhibited synergistic activity when used in combination with relevant chemotherapeutics, and effectively inhibited the growth of multidrug-resistant cells.

Belinostat is currently under phase I/II testing in lymphoma, ovarian cancer and other solid tumors.
