Mocetinostat is a potent, orally active and isotype-selective HDAC (Class I/IV) inhibitor with IC50s of 0.15, 0.29, 1.66 and 0.59 μM for HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3 and HDAC11, respectively. Mocetinostat shows no inhibition on HDAC4, HDAC5, HDAC6, HDAC7, or HDAC8. Mocetinostat (MGCD0103) exhibits potent and selective antiproliferative activities against a broad spectrum of human cancer cell lines in vitro, and HDAC inhibitory activity is required for these effects. In all cell lines tested, Mocetinostat (MGCD0103) partially inhibits cellular HDAC enzyme activity although the maximal inhibition of activity varies among cell lines from 75% to 85% of total activity. The IC50 of Mocetinostat in intact cancer cells is independent of tissue origin. In A549 cells, MGCD0103 shows dose-dependent inhibition of HDAC activity in whole cells. At high concentrations in A549 cells, Mocetinostat inhibits a maximum of 80% of total activity. In HCT116 cells, Mocetinostat induces a significant S-phase depletion and both G1 and G2-M accumulation[1].

Protocol
Cells in 96-well plates are incubated with Mocetinostat at various concentrations for 72 h at 37°C in 5% CO2. MTT is added at a final concentration of 0.5 mg/mL and incubated with the cells for 4 h before an equal volume of solubilization buffer [50% N,N-dimethylformamide, 20% SDS (pH 4.7)] is added. After overnight incubation, solubilized dye is quantified by reading at 570 nm using a reference at 630 nm. Absorbance values are converted to cell numbers according to a standard growth curve of the relevant cell line. The concentration which reduces cell numbers to 50% relative to DMSO-treated cells is determined as MTT IC50[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Mice[1]
Female CD-1 nude mice, ages 8 to 10 wk are used. Tumor fragments (30 mg), which have been serially passaged thrice in vivo in minimal, are implanted s.c. through a small surgical incision on the flank of the mice while under general anesthesia. Mocetinostat is dissolved in vehicle (PBS acidified with 0.1 N HCl or PEG400/0.2 N HCl saline, 40:60) and dosed p.o. as solutions daily. Tumor volumes and body weight are monitored thrice weekly for at least 2 wk. Each experimental group containe six to eight animals. For pharmacokinetic study, blood is collected from animals at various time points, and plasma samples are analyzed.
Rats[2]
Forty rats (220±20 g) are randomly divided into four different dosages of Mocetinostat groups (Low group, Medium group, High group, and control group with 10 rats in each group). Mocetinostat is dissolved in corn oil as suspension at three different concentrations (20, 40, and 80 mg/mL). Three different Mocetinostat groups (Low group, Medium group, and High group) are respectively given Mocetinostat 20, 40, and 80 mg/kg one time by intragastric administration at every morning and last for 7 days. Control group are given saline by same administration method. At 8 days morning, six probe drugs, Bupropion, Phenacetin, Tolbutamide, Metoprolol, Testosterone, and Omeprazole, are mixed in corn oil and given to the rats of three Mocetinostat groups and control group by intragastric administration at a single dosage of 10 mg/kg for Bupropion, Phenacetin, Metoprolol, Testosterone, and Omeprazole and 1 mg/kg for Tolbutamide.
