Özet

Vorinostat (N-hydroxy-N’-phenyloctanediamide) is an HDAC inhibitor that targets HDAC enzymes. In 2006, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved vorinostat for use as a third-line treatment in patients with refractory and relapsed cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Vorinostat inhibits HDAC enzymes by chelating the zinc ion located in the catalytic site, leading to the reprogramming of gene expression. This process results in cell cycle arrest, suppression of proliferation, and induction of apoptosis in transformed cells. Current studies continue to investigate its potential applications against various cancer types, HIV, and parasitic infections. This article compiles and summarizes literature data on the synthesis, structure–activity relationships, physicochemical properties, as well as the pharmacological characteristics, mechanism of action, and pharmacokinetic profile of vorinostat.
