PCI-34051 is a potent and selective HDAC8 inhibitor with IC50 of 10 nM, with >200-fold selectivity over the other HDAC isoforms. IC50 & Target: IC50: 10 nM (HDAC8), 2.9 uM (HDAC6), 4 uM (HDAC1), 13 uM (HDAC10)[1] In Vitro: PCI-34051 inhibits pure recombinant HDAC8 with Ki of 10 nM with >200-fold selectivity over the other HDACs tested, including HDACs 1, 2, 3, 6 and 10. PCI-34051 is derived from a low molecular weight hydroxamic acid scaffold that possessed promising potency (HDAC8; Ki=2 uM) and selectivity (approximately fivefold) for HDAC8 relative to the other class I HDACs. PCI-34051 is found to induce apoptosis at low micromolar concentrations in cell lines derived from T-cell lymphomas, including Jurkat and HuT78, whereas doses as high as 20 uM has no effect on B-cell- or myeloid-derived lymphomas or solid tumor lines[1]. In Vivo: Administration of PCI-34051 and Dexamethasone reduces the eosinophilic inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness in asthma to reduce the airway remodeling[2]. |
