- Abstract
We have identified a potent, cell permeable and CNS penetrant class IIa histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor 22, with >500-fold selectivity over class I HDACs (1,2,3) and ∼150-fold selectivity over HDAC8 and the class IIb HDAC6 isoform. Dose escalation pharmacokinetic analysis demonstrated that upon oral administration, compound 22 can reach exposure levels in mouse plasma, muscle and brain in excess of cellular class IIa HDAC IC
50 levels for ∼8 h. Given the interest in aberrant class IIa HDAC function for a number of neurodegenerative, neuromuscular, cardiac and oncology indications, compound 22 (also known as CHDI-390576) provides a selective and potent compound to query the role of class IIa HDAC biology, and the impact of class IIa catalytic site occupancy in vitro and in vivo., (Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Ltd.
