Creation of a histone deacetylase 6 inhibitor and its biological effects [corrected]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2015 Sep 29;112(39):12005-10. doi: 10.1073/pnas.1515882112. Epub 2015 Sep 14.

Abstract

We report the development of a potent, selective histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) inhibitor. This HDAC6 inhibitor blocks growth of normal and transformed cells but does not induce death of normal cells. The HDAC6 inhibitor alone is as effective as paclitaxel in anticancer activity in tumor-bearing mice.

Keywords: HDAC; cancer; tubulin.
