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
