Pracinostat (SB939)
Pracinostat, also known as SB939, is a potent and orally available inhibitor of histone deacetylase (HDAC) with a relatively stronger selectivity (more than 1000-fold) for class I, class II and class IV HDACs rather than class III HDACs. Pracinostat potently suppresses proliferation in a wide range of cancer cell lines, including colon cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate carcinomas, acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and B cell lymphoma. Recent study results have shown that SB939 induces the accumulation of acetylated histone H3 (AcH3) and acetylated α-tubulin and increases the expression of the cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor p21 in cancer cells.

General tips | We do not recommend long-term storage for the solution, please use it up soon. |
Cell experiment: | |
Cell lines |
Ovarian (A2780) , colon (HCT-116), and prostate (PC-3) cell lines |
Preparation method |
The solubility of this compound in DMSO is >10 mM. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37 °C for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while.Stock solution can be stored below -20°C for several months. |
Reaction Conditions |
96 h; IC50=0.48±0.21 μM (A2780), 0.48±0.27 μM (HCT-116), 0.34±0.06 μM (PC-3) |
Applications |
SB939 showed broad anti-proliferative activity against representative tumor cells from ovarian (A2780) , colon (HCT-116), and prostate (PC-3) with cellular IC50 values of 0.48±0.21, 0.48±0.27 and 0.34±0.06 μM, respectively. |
Animal experiment: | |
Animal models |
Athymic nude mice |
Dosage form |
200 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg, 50 mg/kg; oral taken. |
Applications |
SB939 was clearly toxic at the highest dose tested (200 mg/kg); however, at the MTD dose of 100 mg/kg and at 50mg/kg, it demonstrated very significant antitumor effects on day 21 with TGI = 90% (p < 0.001 ) and 66% ( p < 0.001), respectively, with acceptable body weight loss. |
Other notes |
Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal. |
