Biological Activity

Bioactivity / Mechanism

Panobinostat (LBH589) inhibits HDAC activity. In one biochemical comparison, its IC50 was 0.23±0.06 nM for A2780-derived HDAC1 immunoprecipitates and 283±29 nM for recombinant HDAC8 (mean±SD; three experiments). These values describe distinct assay preparations and do not establish uniform potency across HDAC isoforms. [1]

In Vitro Studies

Panobinostat sensitivity varied across thoracic cancer cells. H69 SCLC cells had an IC50 of 20 nmol/L and an LD50 of 25 nmol/L, whereas the H661 NSCLC IC50 exceeded 800 nmol/L. The study distinguished growth inhibition relative to vehicle from loss of initially plated cells. [2]

Panobinostat combined with pomalidomide produced ZIP-defined synergy in OPM2, MM.1S and KMS12PE myeloma cells, but not U266B1. CRBN knockdown largely removed synergy in OPM2. These 96-hour viability results are specific to the combination and model. [3]

In Vivo Studies

In SCID mice bearing four human SCLC xenograft models, panobinostat monotherapy at 20 mg/kg intraperitoneally, five days per week, reduced tumor growth versus vehicle. BK-T and RG-1 tumors regressed during treatment; the experiment does not establish clinical benefit or tumor eradication. [2]

Panobinostat monotherapy in four SCLC xenografts

Animal study · Human H526, BK-T, RG-1 and H69 subcutaneous tumors in SCID mice; general Methods reports 5–10 mice/group [2]

Tumor growth was lower than vehicle in all four models. BK-T and RG-1 tumors regressed; growth inhibition in the other models does not establish tumor eradication.
