Pyroxamide Usage And Synthesis

Description

Pyroxamide is an inhibitor of histone deacetylases (HDACs), including HDAC1 (IC₅₀ = 0.1-0.2 μM). It induces growth suppression and cell death of certain types of cancer cells in culture.

Uses

Pyroxamide is an inhibitor of histone deacetylases (HDACs), including HDAC1 (IC50 = 0.1-0.2 μM). It induces growth suppression and cell death of certain types of cancer cells in culture.

Uses

Pyroamide is a histone decetylase inhibitor (HDCi), a novel class of anti-neoplastic agent that acts by enhancing acetylation of histones, promoting uncoiling of chromatin and activation of genes implicated in the regulation of cell survival such as poliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. Pyroamide is known to potently inhibits affinity purified HDAC1. Also inhibits the growth of tumor cells in vitro and in vivo. Induces p21/WAF1 expression in tumor cells.

Definition

ChEBI: N'-hydroxy-N-(3-pyridinyl)octanediamide is an aromatic amide.
