Notes: MS-275 is an inhibitor of histone deacetylases (HDACs) that preferentially inhibits HDAC1 (IC50 = 300 nM) over HDAC3 (IC50 = 8 μM).{17522} However, it does not inhibit HDAC8 (IC50 > 100 μM).{17522} MS-275 induces cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A (p21/CIP1/WAF1), slowing cell growth, differentiation, and tumor development in vivo.{17523}{17524} Recent studies suggest that MS-275 may be particularly useful as an antineoplastic agent when combined with other drugs, like adriamycin,{17525} inhibitors of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP),{17526} or inhibitors of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90).{17527}
