“…Classes I (1,2,3,8), II (4,5,6,7,9,10) and IV (11) HDACs are Zn 2+ -dependent enzymes, while class III HDACs (SIRT1-7) require NAD + for their activities [16][17][18]. Five HDACis, vorinostat (1, SAHA) [19], bellinostat (2,PXD101) [20], panobinostat (3,LBH589) [21], romidepsin (4,FK228) [22] and chidamide (5,CS055) [23] (Figure 1), have been approved on the market for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), multiple myeloma (MM) or peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL), and more than 20 other inhibitors are at different stages of clinical trials. However, most HDACis displayed suboptimal results against solid tumors, so it is important to develop novel HDACis to achieve high potency against solid malignancy.…”
