Product Description

Citarinostat (ACY-241; ACY241; HDAC-IN-2) is a novel, potent, orally bioavailable and selective inhibitor of HDAC6 (histone deacetylase) with anticancer activity. It is presently being treated for multiple myeloma in a Phase 1b clinical trial (NCT 02400242). For HDAC6 and HDAC3, its IC50 values are 4 nM and 76 nM, respectively. Due to decreased potency against Class I HDACs, ACY-241 has the potential for a significantly lower side effect profile compared to current nonselective HDAC inhibitor drug candidates, similar to the structurally related analog ACY-1215 (ricolinostat). Despite this, ACY-241 may still be effective against cancer. Solid tumor growth is markedly suppressed when paclitaxel and either ricolinostat or ACY-241 are administered in combination to xenograft models. Compared to either drug alone, combination treatment with ACY-241 and paclitaxel improved the inhibition of proliferation and increased cell death in cell lines from various solid tumor lineages. In line with the observed rise in aneuploid cells, combination treatment with paclitaxel and ACY-241 also led to a higher frequency of mitotic cells with aberrant mitoses and abnormal multipolar spindles. The observation of NuMA-dependent and γ-tubulin-independent multipolar mitotic spindle formation at the molecular level suggests that centrosomal amplification is not a prerequisite for treatment-induced multipolar spindle formation. A compelling case can be made for the clinical development of ACY-241 plus paclitaxel in patients with advanced solid tumors, given the combination's significantly improved efficacy and the expected superior safety profile of a selective HDAC6 inhibitor over pan-HDAC inhibitors.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
HDAC6 (IC50 = 2.6 nM); HDAC1 (IC50 = 35 nM); HDAC2 (IC50 = 45 nM); HDAC3 (IC50 = 46 nM); HDAC8 (IC50 = 137 nM); HDAC7 (IC50 = 7300 nM)
ln Vitro

Citarinostat (ACY241; 0-3 μM; 24 hours; A2780 cells) treatment with 300 nM results in increased hyperacetylation of α-tubulin, consistent with inhibition of the tubulin deacetylase HDAC6. Conversely, amounts greater than 1 μM are the only ones that cause hyperacetylation of histone H3, which is a target of Class I HDACs. Class I HDAC isozymes are inhibited by higher exposures of Citarinostat, whereas HDAC6 is selectively inhibited at lower exposure levels[1].
Citarinostat (ACY241) had a single agent viability IC50 of 4.6–6.1 μM in MDA-MD-231 breast cancer cells and A2780 and TOV-21G ovarian cancer cells. As per the viability assay, Citarinostat as a single agent shows a modest reduction in proliferation up to 3 μM without causing apoptosis. However, at 10 μM, Citarinostat significantly induces apoptosis and completely suppresses proliferation[1].

ln Vivo
Citarinostat (ACY241; 50 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; once daily for five days, then two days off; female athymic nude mice) significantly inhibits the growth of tumors when combined with NSC 125973[1].
Enzyme Assay
Citarinostat is an inhibitor that specifically targets HDAC6; its IC50 values for HDAC6 and HDAC3 are 4 nM and 76 nM, respectively.
Cell Assay
Immunoblotting is done 24 hours after A2780 cells are cultivated with either a vehicle or a range of ACY-241 concentrations.
Animal Protocol
Female athymic nude mice (7-week-old) injected with TOV-21G cells[1]
50 mg/kg
Intraperitoneal injection; once daily for five days, followed by two days off; for 3 weeks

  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
