More Info
Droxinostat has shown a potent action against HDAC3, HDAC6, and HDAC8 which are pyrimidyl-hydroxamic acid-dependent histone deacetylases. Chemically Droxinostat stands for 4-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)-N-hydroxybutanamide. It contains a hydroxamic acid moiety. Caspase 8 is an effective stimulator of apoptosis and its action is inhibited by the protein FLIP. Hence FLIP inhibits apoptosis and Droxinostat targets FLIP induced inhibition of apoptosis.   Droxinostat shows a significant action on gene transcription hence controlling tumor progression. The cells resistant to the caspase mediated apoptotic pathway get sensitized by Droxinostat, hence proving an active agent of introducing death in cancerous cells.

Product Data
Biological target:
Droxinostat (NS 41080) is a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor.
In vitro activity:
Droxinostat inhibited proliferation and colony formation of the HCC cell lines examined. Droxinostat suppresses HDAC3 expression and induces histone acetylation and HCC cell death through activation of the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway and downregulation of FLIP, supporting its potential application in the treatment of HCC. Reference: Transl Oncol. 2016 Feb;9(1):70-78. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26947884/
In vivo activity:
A semi-quantitative index (SMI) shows that CMH (droxinostat) attenuated lung fibrosis in mice from an index of SMI equals 2 to only 1.1 (Figure 4E), and collagen in Sircoll assay decreased from 200 µg to only 50 µg per lobe (Figure 4F). Thus, CMH shows inhibition of Ku70-deacetylation that may stabilize FLIP and Ku70/FLIP complex in lung myofibroblasts promoting fibrosis, which can be associated to inhibition of SIRT1.
