Description: Mocetinostat, also known as MGCD-0103, is a rationally designed, orally available, Class 1-selective, small molecule, 2-aminobenzamide HDAC inhibitor with potential antineoplastic activity. Mocetinostat binds to and inhibits Class 1 isoforms of HDAC, specifically HDAC 1, 2 and 3, which may result in epigenetic changes in tumor cells and so tumor cell death; although the exact mechanism has yet to be defined, tumor cell death may occur through the induction of apoptosis, differentiation, cell cycle arrest, inhibition of DNA repair, upregulation of tumor suppressors, down regulation of growth factors, oxidative stress, and autophagy, among others.

Biological target: Mocetinostat (MGCD0103) is an isotype-selective HDAC (Class I/IV) inhibitor with IC50s of 0.15, 0.29, 1.66 and 0.59 μM for HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3 and HDAC11, respectively.
In vitro activity: Treatment of SUM149 and HCC1937 cells with mocetinostat increased the acetylation of H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) and H3K27 in a dose-dependent manner (Figure 4A). Mocetinostat suppressed the proliferation of SUM149 and HCC1937 in MTT assays, with an IC50 value of 0.6 and 2.6 µM, respectively. In the presence of 0.5 µM mocetinostat, the colony formation was reduced by approximately 80% (P < 0.001) compared with the control cells (Figure 4B). To examine the effect of mocetinostat on cell cycle progression and apoptosis, this study performed flow cytometry of DNA content in SUM149 and HCC1937 cells. As shown in Figure 4C and 4D, mocetinostat treatment led to a substantial increase in G2/M phase and decreases in G1 and S phase cells, suggesting that it hinders cell-cycle progression, particularly in SUM149 cells. Mocetinostat also potently induced apoptosis in SUM149 and HCC1937 cells, as shown by Annexin V assay and western blot analysis of cleaved caspase-3 (Figure 4A and Supplementary Figure 5).

In vivo activity: MGCD (MGCD0103) treatment significantly inhibited the increase in blood glucose level (Fig. 1A), deformation of pancreatic islets, and infiltration of macrophages (Fig. 1C) in rats injected with a low dose (40 mg/kg) of STZ. In addition, MGCD infusion elevated the expression of SODs in the pancreas, and TEMPOL, an SOD mimetic, restored STZ-induced cell death (Fig. 5G) and activation of caspase-3 (Fig. 5H). These results indicate that MGCD protects the pancreas from the oxidative stress induced by the low dose of STZ through the expression of SODs.
