ITF2357

ITF2357 (Givinostat, Gavinostat) is a histone deacetylase inhibitor with potential anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic, and antineoplastic activities.The IC50 vale for maize HDAC preparations HD2, HD-1B and HD-1A are 10, 7.5 and 16 nM respectively. ITF2357 (Givinostat, Gavinostat) inhibits class I and class II histone deacetylases (HDACs) and several pro-inflammatory cytokines.This reduces expression of tumour necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin 1α and β, and interleukin 6. ITF2357 (Givinostat,Gavinostat) also has activity against cells expressing JAK (2V617F), a mutated form of the janus kinase 2 (JAK2) enzyme that is implicated in the pathophysiology of many myeloproliferative diseases, including polycythaemia vera.
