Belinostat
HDAC InhibitorBelinostat is indicated for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) with manageable safety profile. It is a potential alternative therapy for patients who did not experience adequate response to first-line drugs for PTCL. It can be used in patients wit
Belinostat inhibits the activity of histone deacetylase (HDAC) thus prevents the removal of acetyl groups from the lysine residues of histones and some non-histone proteins. In vitro, belinostat caused the accumulation of acetylated histones and other proteins, increased the expression of tumor-suppressor genes. It ultimately induces cell cycle arrest, inhibition of angiogenesis and/or apoptosis of some transformed cells.
