Product Description

Pracinostat (formerly SB-939) is a novel, potent and orally bioavailable pan-HDAC (histone deacetylase) inhibitor with potential anticancer activity. As opposed to class III HDACs, it shows comparatively higher selectivity (more than 1000-fold) for class I, class II, and class IV HDACs. Prostate carcinomas, colon cancer, ovarian cancer, acute myeloid leukemia (AML), B cell lymphoma, and other cancer cell lines are among those against which it exhibits strong anti-proliferative activity in vitro. In order to treat acute myelocytic leukemia (AML) and T-cell lymphoma, pracinostat was given FDA Orphan Drug status in March 2014.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
HDAC10 ( IC50 = 40 nM ); HDAC3 ( IC50 = 43 nM ); HDAC5 ( IC50 = 47 nM ); HDAC1 ( IC50 = 49 nM ); HDAC4 ( IC50 = 56 nM ); HDAC9 ( IC50 = 70 nM ); HDAC11 ( IC50 = 93 nM ); HDAC2 ( IC50 = 96 nM ); HDAC7 ( IC50 = 137 nM ); HDAC8 ( IC50 = 140 nM ); HDAC6 ( IC50 = 1008 nM ); MBLAC2 ( IC50 < 10 nM )
ln Vitro

In vitro activity: Pracinostat (SB939) is a strong new hydroxamate-based inhibitor of HDACs class I, II, and IV.It has no effect on the class III isoenzyme SIRT I, but it inhibits the isolated enzymes with Ki values of 19 to 48 nM for class I, 16 to 247 nM for class II, and 43 nM for class IV. The HCT-116 colon cancer cell line and the HL-60 acute myeloid leukemia cell line are both affected by SB939; their IC50 values are 0.48 μM and 70 nM, respectively. At concentrations as high as 100 μM, SB939 does not impede the proliferation of normal human dermal fibroblasts[1]. CYP2C19 is inhibited by pracinostat (SB939, compound 3), with an IC50 of 5.78 μM. With IC50s of 0.48 ± 0.21, 0.56 ± 0.08, 0.48 ± 0.27, and 0.34 ± 0.06, SB939 exhibits strong activities against A2780, COLO 205, HCT-116, and PC-3 cell lines[2]. In JAK2V617F and FLT-ITD cell lines, precinostat downregulates JAK and FLT3 signaling. When combined with pacritinib, precinostat exhibits synergy. In vitro synergy between pacritinib and pranistat on apoptosis and STAT signaling is demonstrated. In JAK2V617F or FLT3-ITD AML cell lines, precinostat synergistically inhibits the growth of several AML subtypes and is a potent inhibitor of AML subtype proliferation when used alone[3].

ln Vivo
Pracinostat (SB939, 25-100 mg/kg) significantly inhibits the growth of HCT-116 xenografts at different doses. Tumor tissue is where SB939 preferentially assembles. In the Apcmin genetic colon cancer mouse model, SB939 (50 or 75 mg/kg) demonstrates anti-tumor activities[1]. Mice carrying MV4-11 xenografts exhibit a significant reduction in tumor growth inhibition (TGI) when given pracinostat (25 or 50 mg/kg per day for 21 days). The reduction is 59 and 116%, respectively. In two separate in vivo models of human AML, the combination of pracistat (75 mg/kg, q.o.d.) and pracitinib is effective and synergistic. When it comes to AML-induced plasma cytokines, growth factors, and chemokines, prancinotide and pacritinib work in concert[3].
Enzyme Assay
All recombinant HDAC enzymes are expressed in S*BIO through cloning, except for SIRT1. The assay buffer (25 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5; 137 mM NaCl; 2.7 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl2, and 1 mg/mL BSA), various concentrations of SB939, and the fluorogenic deacetylase substrate Flour de LysTM are all included in the reaction mix, which has a total reaction volume of 33 μL. The mixture is then incubated at room temperature for two hours. After adding 16 μL of Flour de LysTM developer, incubate for an extra 10 minutes. With a microplate reader, the light emission is measured at 460 nm. To generate IC50 values, use the XLfit software.
Cell Assay
Prior to treating with SB939, cells are seeded at a predefined optimal density in 96-well plates during the log growth phase, and they are allowed to rest for either 24 hours (for adherent cells) or 2 hours (for suspension cells). All the experiments are conducted in triplicates for 96 hours using 1% solvent. For adherent cells, the CyQUANT Cell Proliferation Assay Kit is used, and for suspension cells, the CellTiter96 Aqueous One solution cell proliferation kit. The total volume used in the experiments is 100 μL, and the concentrations of SB939 are diluted nine times in serial order to get from 100 μM to 1.5 nM. The XLfit software is utilized to ascertain the IC50 [1].
Animal Protocol
Standard rodent diet is fed to both male ApcMin/+ mice and female C57BL/6 mice. Mice with the verified mutation who are between 16 and 20.5 weeks old and score positively in the hemocult assay are selected for the study. Mice receive intraperitoneal injections (i.p.) of 40 mg/kg 5-FU once daily for five days of treatment, followed by a nine-day recovery period and five more days of treatment. The injection volume is 200 μL per 20 g body weight. Treatment with SB939 is administered orally once daily at 50 or 75 mg/kg for a continuous 21 days. The small intestine, caecum, and colon are removed on the final day of treatment; they are then cut into segments and spread flat on plastic film in a formaldehyde bath after being fixed with repeated injections of 4% PBS-buffered formaldehyde into the gut lumen. Under a dissection microscope, tumor load is measured. The samples are evaluated and analyzed while blinded[1].

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:

  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
