NCIt synonyms : PCI-24781 Tosylate; 1H-Pyrrolo(2,3-C)pyridine-2-carboxamide, N-ethyl-4-(2-(4-fluoro-2,6-dimethylphenoxy)-5-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)phenyl)-6,7-dihydro-6-methyl-7-oxo-;
NCIt definition : The tosylate salt form of abexinostat, an orally bioavailable hydroxamate-based pan-inhibitor
of histone deacetylase (HDAC), with potential antineoplastic and radiosensitizing
activities. Upon administration, abexinostat inhibits HDAC, resulting in an accumulation
of highly acetylated histones, followed by the induction of chromatin remodeling;
the selective transcription of tumor suppressor genes; and the tumor suppressor protein-mediated
inhibition of tumor cell division and induction of tumor cell apoptosis. In addition,
abexinostat decreases the expression of the DNA-repair protein RAD51, thereby reducing
the RAD51 protein, preventing repair of DNA double-strand breaks and increasing sensitivity
of tumor cells to DNA damaging agents. HDAC, upregulated in many tumor types, is an
enzyme that is responsible for the deacetylation of chromatin histone proteins.;
