PCI-34051 is a potent and specific HDAC8 (histone deacetylase 8) inhibitor (IC50 = 10 nM). PCI-34051 reveals greater than 200-fold selectivity over HDAC1 and HDAC6, and greater than 1000-fold selectivity over HDAC2, HDAC3 and HDAC10. PCI-34051, a novel small molecule, belongs to the indole family of compounds as a derivative of indole-6-carboxamide. Notably, it exhibits a diverse array of biological activities. Its inhibitory effects encompass the growth of specific cancer cell lines, fungi, and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Such multifaceted properties make PCI-34051 a compelling candidate for further exploration and potential applications in various fields of research.
