    WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Description: AR-42, also known as (S)-HDAC-42; AR-42; NSC-736012; OSU-42; OSU-HDAC-42; OSUHDAC-42, is a broad-spectrum deacetylase inhibitor of both histone and non-histone proteins, which has demonstrated greater potency and activity in solid tumors and hematological malignancies when compared in preclinical studies to vorinostat (also known as "SAHA" or Zolinza®), the first of two marketed compound in the class. AR-42 may possess additional histone-independent mechanisms, which may contribute to its superior profile in vitro and in vivo.

Technical Data

Additional Information

 AR-42 is a novel class I and II DAC inhibitor that has shown pre-clinical activity in a variety of solid tumor in vitro and in vivo models. (S)-HDAC-42 is a potent orally bioavailable inhibitor of HDAC, as well as targets regulating multiple aspects of cancer cell survival, which might have clinical value in prostate cancer chemotherapy and warrants further investigation in this regard. (source: Clin Cancer Res. 2006 Sep 1;12(17):5199-206.).

Arno is also developing AR-42 (formerly known as "HDAC-42"), an orally available, broad spectrum inhibitor of both histone and non-histone deacetylation proteins ("pan-DAC"), which may both be important in cancer progression. Histone deacetylase ("HDAC") inhibitors are a growing class of compounds that target histone deactylase, a molecule involved in determining which genes are expressed in a particular cell. This class has two approved agents, vorinostat ("SAHA," or Zolinza® by Merck) and romidepsin (Istodax®, Celgene) . In preclinical studies, AR-42 has shown increased potency compared to SAHA, activity against a broad spectrum of deacetylation targets, and unique mechanisms for killing tumor-forming cancer stem cells (Hassane, et al). Recently published preclinical research done in the lab of of John Byrd, MD at the Ohio State University demonstrated the in vitro and in vivo efficacy of AR-42 against B-cell malignancites at tolerable doses, and these results also suggested that AR-42 has greater efficacy in vitro as well as in vivo compared to vorinostat (Lucas, et al). This combination of activity and potency may provide for a toxicity and efficacy profile that differentiates AR-42 from other HDAC inhibitors in this emerging class of compounds.

Arno is currently enrolling an investigator-initiated Phase I/IIa study with AR-42 in collaboration with The Ohio State University in adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (MM), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or lymphoma.
