Histone deacetylase (HDAC) Inhibitors Understanding
Histone deacetylase (HDAC) Inhibitors: Overview
The histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) are a group of small molecules that target histone deacetylases (HDACs) by inhibiting their activity. HDACi have a long history of use in neurology and psychiatry as antiepileptics and mood stabilizers. More recently, they have been investigated as possible treatments for cancer. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors are a relatively new class of anti-cancer agents that play important roles in epigenetic or non-epigenetic regulation, inducing death, apoptosis, and cell cycle arrest in cancer cells. Eighteen human HDAC enzymes have been identified and classified into four groups based on their homology with yeast HDACs.
• The acetylation of histones by HAT changes their charge from positive to negative, which reduces their interaction with negatively-charged DNA. This increases accessibility for the transcriptional machinery, resulting in transcriptional activation. This series of the events can be reversed by deacetylation by HDACs. Epigenetic changes caused by imbalances between HATs and HDACs can affect global transcriptional profiles.
• HDACs are so-named because they were first identified as enzymes that function to remove acetyl groups from lysine residues on the N-terminal tails of histones. However, recent phylogenetic studies suggest that all four classes of HDACs preceded the evolution of histone proteins, indicating that the primary substrates of HDAC enzymes are not histone proteins but non-histone proteins.
• HDACs are both directly and indirectly involved in many biological processes, including development, proliferation, differentiation, and cell death.
Histone deacetylase (HDAC) Inhibitors Emerging Drugs Chapters
This segment of the Histone deacetylase (HDAC) Inhibitors report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.
Histone deacetylase (HDAC) Inhibitors Emerging Drugs
• Givinostat: Italfarmaco
Givinostat is an investigational drug discovered through Italfarmaco’s internal research and development efforts in collaboration with Lorenzo Puri (SanfordBurnhamPrebys Medical Research Institute, San Diego, formerly Santa Lucia Foundation, Rome) and his team, and partnerships with Telethon and Parent Project aps. It is being evaluated for safety and efficacy for the treatment of Duchenne- and Becker- Muscular Dystrophy. Givinostat inhibits histone deacetylases (HDACs). HDACs are enzymes that prevent gene translation by changing the three-dimensional folding of DNA in the cell. Studies show that Duchenne patients have higher than normal HDAC levels, which may prevent muscle regeneration, and also trigger inflammation. In the company’s clinical study in DMD boys aged seven to less than 11 years, Givinostat was observed to slow disease progression, significantly increase muscle mass and reduce the amount of fibrotic tissue. Givinostat treatment also significantly reduced muscle tissue necrosis and fatty replacement, two additional parameters related to disease progression (Bettica et al., Neuromuscular Disorder 2016).

• April 2020: Onxeo announced that it had entered into agreements (“the Agreements”) with Acrotech Biopharma which extend Acrotech’s rights to belinostat, to all territories not previously covered under Onxeo’s prior agreement with Acrotech as well as transfer certain IP and know-how related to belinostat in all its forms. Onxeo would receive a one-time payment of $6.6 million from Acrotech in exchange for these rights. Belinostat is currently marketed in the U.S. under the name Beleodaq (belinostat for injection) in the second-line treatment of patients with peripheral T cell lymphoma.
