Apicidin, >=98% (HPLC), from microbial
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.
