General information

Class/mechanism: Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor. Vorinostat inhibits histone deacetylases HDAC1, HDAC2, and HDAC3 (Class I), as well as HDAC6 (Class II). HDACs normally catalyze removal of acetyl groups from acetylated lysine residues in histones and non-histone proteins, which helps to regulate gene expression. Inhibition of histone deacetylases results in hyperacetylation of histones and modulates gene expression by creating an open chromatin state that leads to expression of previously silenced genes. Although the mechanism of action is not fully understood, inhibiting HDACs has been observed to result in cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of cancer cells.[1][2][3]
