Sample solution is provided at 25 µL, 10mM.
Histone acetyltransferase and histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity regulates the reversible acetylation of lysine residues within histone tails, which results in either transcriptional activation or repression of nearby genes. Compounds that modulate this activity are of interest in cancer chemotherapeutics as well as for treating psychiatric disorders, malaria, and other diseases. Apicidin is a fungal toxin that has broad spectrum activity against Apicomplexan parasites through inhibiting HDACs (IC50 = 0.7 nM).[1] An in vitro activity assay demonstrates apicidin inhibition of HDAC3/NCoR, a class I HDAC, at a much higher potency than for class II HDAC6 (IC50s = 15.8 and 665.1 nM, respectively).[2] Apicidin exhibits antiproliferative activity against various cancer cell lines (IC50s = 0.13-2.36 μM), and at 0.5 – 2 μM it induces selective changes in p21WAF1/Cip1 and gelsolin gene expression, which control cell cycle and cell morphology, respectively.[3]

Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines |
HeLa cells |
Preparation method |
The solubility of this compound in DMSO is limited. 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 |
1 μg/mL; 24 hrs |
Applications |
Apicidin exhibited long-lasting anti-proliferative activity against HeLa cells, up to 48 hrs after withdrawal. |
Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models |
Ishikawa endometrial cancer xenografted mouse model |
Dosage form |
5 mg/kg; i.p.; q.d., for 21 days |
Applications |
Significant inhibition of tumor growth was observed starting from day 15 after the Apicidin treatment. Apicidin (5 mg/kg) significantly inhibited tumor growth up to 53%. |
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. |
