Description

Citarinostat (ACY241) is a second generation potent, orally active and high-selective HDAC6 inhibitor with an IC50 of 2.6 nM (IC50s of 35 nM, 45 nM, 46 nM and 137 nM for HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3 and HDAC8, respectively). Citarinostat has anticancer effects[1].

HDAC2

In Vitro

Citarinostat (ACY241; 0-3 μM; 24 hours; A2780 cells) treatment with 300 nM results in increased hyperacetylation of α-tubulin, consistent with inhibition of the tubulin deacetylase HDAC6. In contrast, hyperacetylation of histone H3, a target of Class I HDACs, is only observed at doses above 1 μM. Low exposures of Citarinostat result in selective inhibition of HDAC6, while higher exposures lead to inhibition of Class I HDAC isozymes[1].
The single agent viability IC50 of Citarinostat (ACY241) ranged from 4.6-6.1 μM in A2780 and TOV-21G ovarian cancer and MDA-MD-231 breast cancer cells. Consistent with the viability assay, single agent Citarinostat modestly reduces proliferation at doses up to 3 μM without inducing apoptosis, while 10 μM of Citarinostat causes significant induction of apoptosis and completely suppresses proliferation[1].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.34 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.34 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
