Pharmacology
Pharmacodynamics
Entinostat is a benzamide histone deacetylase inhibitor.[9][10][11][12] It is a selective inhibitor of the class I HDACs, including HDAC1, HDAC2, and HDAC3, with IC50 values of 243 to 453 nM and high selectivity over other HDACs.[4][5][6] However, it has also been reported to inhibit the class IV HDAC11,[2] though findings are mixed.[7]
Pharmacokinetics
Entinostat shows poor penetration into the brain in non-human primates.[13] The elimination half-life of entinostat is 33 to 150 hours in humans.[2]
History
Entinostat was first described in the scientific literature, under the developmental code name MS-275, in 1999.[14][15]
Syndax Pharmaceuticals held the rights to entinostat and received $26.6 million in funds to advance treatments of resistant cancers using epigenetic tools in 2016.[16]
Research
Entinostat has been studied as a potential reversible male contraceptive.[17]
