(LBH589) is a highly potent inhibitor of both histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) activity and tumour cell proliferation in vitro. The IC₅₀ values of HDAC isozymes HDAC1-IP Ac-H4, HDAC8, MALunselective, B61HDAC1 and B12HDAC6 are 0.23±0.06, 283±29, 75±4, 47±5 and 89±12 nM, respectively. And to A2780 proliferation, IC₅₀ value is 4.6±1.8 nM.
