NCIt synonyms : 3-(1-Benzenesulfonyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-5-yl)-N-hydroxy-acrylamide; (E)-N-hydroxy-3-(1-(phenylsulfonyl)indolin-5-yl)acrylamide; HDAC Inhibitor MPT0E028;
NCIt definition : An orally bioavailable N-hydroxyacrylamide-derived inhibitor of both human pan-histone
deacetylase (HDAC) enzymes and the serine/threonine protein kinase Akt (protein kinase
B), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, imofinostat selectively
binds to and inhibits HDACs, which inhibits deacetylation of histone proteins and
leads to the accumulation of highly acetylated histones. This may result in both an
induction of chromatin remodeling, and the selective transcription of tumor suppressor
genes. This prevents cell division and induces both cell cycle arrest and apoptosis,
which may inhibit the proliferation of susceptible tumor cells. In addition, imofinostat
inhibits the phosphorylation and activation of Akt, which prevents the activation
of downstream signaling pathways, independent of its HDAC inhibitory activity. HDACs,
upregulated in many tumor cell types, are a family of enzymes that deacetylate histone
proteins. Akt, overexpressed in many tumor cell types, plays a key role in tumor cell
proliferation and survival.;
