Mocetinostat is a histone deacetylase inhibitor that is currently in clinical trials for the treatment of various cancers, such as B. Follicular Lymphoma , Hodgkin Lymphoma, and Acute Myeloid Leukemia .
The dihydrobromide salt is used medicinally .
Mechanism of action
Mocetinostat selectively inhibits histone deacetylases 1, 2, 3 and 11, which leads to hyperacetylation of histones in tumors . This leads to an interruption of the cell cycle , expression of the P21 protein and subsequent apoptosis of the tumor cell .
