“…In this study, we tested the in vitro and in vivo antiplasmodial efficacies of a new, orally bioavailable, hydroxamate-based HDAC inhibitor undergoing clinical trials for cancer (35,47,52,65,67). SB939 (pracinostat; S*BIO), a pan-HDAC inhibitor acting on class I, II, and IV HDACs (47,65), has a longer in vivo half-life (t 1/2 of 2.4 h) than those of other hydroxamate-based HDAC inhibitors, such as SAHA (t 1/2 of 0.75 h) ( Table 1).…”
