Tefinostat is a monocyte-selective pan-inhibitor of histone deacetylases (HDACs) and a prodrug form of CHR-2847.1 It is converted to CHR-2847 by carboxylesterase 1 (CES1), which is selectively expressed in monocyte lineage cells, as well as some hepatocytes. Tefinostat increases intracellular protein acetylation in CD14+ primary human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells and gamma histone H2AX (γH2AX) levels in primary chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) cells in a concentration-dependent manner. It selectively inhibits the growth of primary AML cells over normal bone marrow cells when used at a concentration of 500 nM. Tefinostat (2 µM) induces β-oxidation of the very long-chain fatty acid hexacosanoic acid (Item No. 13354) in primary human macrophages.2 It also inhibits the migration of isolated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) toward supernatant isolated from LPS-stimulated primary human macrophages.
