Quisinostat (USAN;[2] development codeJNJ-26481585) is an experimental drug candidate for the treatment of cancer. It is a "second generation"histone deacetylase inhibitor withantineoplastic activity.[3][4][5] It is highly potent against class I and II HDACs.[6]
It was developed byJanssen Pharmaceuticals and licensed to NewVac LLC.[7]
Preclinical studies show that quisinostat amplifies HDAC-repressed expression ofE-cadherin, leading to a reversal ofepithelial to mesenchymal transition in tumor cells.[7]
Results of a phase I trials in patients with multiple myeloma in combination withbortezomib and dexamethasone were published in 2016.[8]
