histone/fatigue

BACKGROUND Despite complete surgical resection survival in early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains poor. On the basis of prior preclinical evaluations, we hypothesized that combined induction proteasome and histone deacetylase inhibitor therapy, followed by tumor resection, is

OBJECTIVE To determine the safety, dose-limiting toxicity, maximum tolerated dose, and pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of the novel hydroxamate histone deacetylase inhibitor belinostat (previously named PXD101) in patients with advanced refractory solid tumors. METHODS Sequential

MGCD0103, an orally available class I histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, was examined for pre-clinical activity in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). A phase II clinical trial was performed, starting at a dose of 85 mg/d, three times per week. Dose escalation to 110 mg or the addition of

OBJECTIVE This clinical trial investigated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), and pharmacodynamic (PD) profile of CHR-3996, a selective class I histone deacetylase inhibitor. METHODS CHR-3996 was administered orally once a day. This phase I trial used a 3+3 dose-escalation design. PK

There has been a renewed interest in anti-chromatin and anti-histone antibodies in the last few years. To assess the prevalence of anti-chromatin and anti-histone antibodies in patients with systematic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and to correlate serum levels of these antibodies with clinical features

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to assess the safety, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of SB939, a novel histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, in patients with advanced solid malignancies. METHODS Dose-escalating cohorts of three

A 76-year-old man was admitted with general fatigue, weight loss, fever, headache, renal failure, and a high serum level of myeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody. Biopsy revealed citrullinated histone H3 (citH3)-positive neutrophils adherent to the temporal artery endothelium. Three

Inhibition of human histone deacetylases (HDACs) has emerged as a novel concept in the chemotherapeutic treatment of cancer. Two chemical entities, SAHA (ZOLINZA, Merck) and romidepsin (Istodax, Celgene) have been recently approved by the FDA as first-in-class drugs against cutaneous T-cell

The inhibition of histone deacetylase (HDAC) can induce differentiation, growth arrest, and apoptosis in cancer cells. This phase II multicenter study was undertaken to estimate the efficacy of belinostat, a potent inhibitor of both class I and class II HDAC enzymes, for the treatment of

Hypocortisolism is a frequent finding in individuals with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) with other research findings implying potential dysregulation of glucocorticoid signaling. Glucocorticoid signaling is under the influence of several pathways, several of which are of interest in the study of

The histone deacetylase inhibitor panobinostat has shown efficacy in phase-II and phase-III trials for multiple myeloma and has recently received market approval in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone. Here, we retrospectively report our single center experience with

Three fractions of rat adenosine-3',5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase were isolated, partially purified in buffer concentration gradient at normal state and after long-term physical loading and studied. It is found that first two fractions of protein kinases at normal state and after

Approximately half of the patients with myelofibrosis (MF) carry mutant JAK2(V617F) proteins. JAK2(V617F) has been recently shown to translocate to the nucleus and modify specific histones, thus regulating transcription. We report on a phase II study testing the activity and tolerability of the

Tefinostat (CHR-2845) is a monocyte/macrophage targeted histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi). This first-in-human, standard 3 + 3 dose escalating trial of oral, once daily tefinostat was conducted to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of tefinostat in

BACKGROUND SB939 is an orally available, competitive histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor selective for class I, II and IV histone deacetylases. Preclinical evaluation of SB939 revealed a profile suggesting improved efficacy compared to other HDAC inhibitors. This phase I study was carried out to
