In clinical trials. Also known as MS-275, SNDX-275.

General information

Class/mechanism: Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor. Entinostat inhibits class I histone deacetylases, which regulate gene expression by affecting chromatin structure. HDACs normally catalyze removal of acetyl groups from acetylated lysine residues in histones and non-histone proteins, which helps to regulate gene expression. Inhibiting HDACs and the consequent accumulation of acetylated histones results in cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of cancer cells.[1]
Route: PO
Extravasation: n/a

For conciseness and simplicity, HemOnc.org currently will focus on treatment regimens and not list information such as: renal/hepatic dose adjustments, metabolism (including CYP450), excretion, monitoring parameters (although this will be considered for checklists), or manufacturer. Instead, for the most current information, please refer to your preferred pharmacopeias such as Micromedex, Lexicomp, UpToDate (courtesy of Lexicomp), or the prescribing information.
