Novel dual LSD1/HDAC6 inhibitor for the treatment of cancer.

ABSTRACT: Dually targeting the epigenetic proteins lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) and histone deacetylases (HDACs) that play a key role in cancer cells by modulating gene repressor complexes including CoREST will have a profound effect in inhibiting tumour growth. Here, we evaluated JBI-097 a dual LSD1/HDAC6 inhibitor, for its in vitro and in vivo activities in various tumor models. In vitro, JBI-097 showed a strong potency in inhibiting LSD1 and HDAC6 enzymatic activities with the isoform selectivity over other HDACs. Cell-based experiments demonstrated a superior anti-proliferative profile against haematological and solid tumor cell lines. JBI-097 also showed strong modulation of HDAC6 and LSD1 specific biomarkers, alpha-tubulin, CD86, CD11b, and GFi1b. In vivo, JBI-097 showed a stronger eff
