General description
Apicidin is a cyclic tetrapeptide fungal metabolite.
Application
Apicidin has been used as a histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) inhibitor to study its effects on 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) mRNA expression in cell lines of Mono Mac6. It has also been used to study the effects of toll-like receptor 8 (TLR-8) stimulation and histone modification on the expression of an activator protein 1 [AP-1] family member(Fra-2) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1 (TIMP-1) in monocytes.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Apicidin is a potent inhibitor of histone deacetylase (HDAC). It particularlyinhibits histone deacetylase 1 and 3 (HDAC1 and HDAC3). Apicidin exhibits anti-protozoal activity against apicomplexan metabolite produced by parasites. It also possesses anti-proliferative activity against several cancer cell lines. Apicidin shows anti-cancer activity against human acute promyelocytic leukemia cell.
Potent (nM) cell permeable inhibitor of histone deacetylase.

Apicidin [cyclo(N-O-methyl-L-tryptophanyl-L-isoleucinyl-D-pipecolinyl-l-2-amino-8-oxodecanoyl)], a novel histone deacetylase inhibitor, has been identified as an antiprotozoal and antiproliferative agent. In this study, we show apicidin induces transcriptional activation of p21(WAF1/CIP1) (p21) in human prostate carcinoma cells. Apicidin induces expression of p21 protein and

In HIV infected macrophages, a large population of viral genomes persists as the unintegrated form (uDNA) that is transcriptionally active. However, how this transcriptional activity is controlled remains unclear. In this report, we investigated whether Tat, the viral transactivator of
