FK 228
Chemical Name: Cyclo[(2Z)-2-amino-2-butenoyl-L-valyl-(3S,4E)-3-hydroxy-7-mercapto-4-heptenoyl-D-valyl-D-cysteinyl], cyclic (3-5) disulfide
Purity: ≥98%
Biological Activity
FK 228 is a potent and selective inhibitor of class I histone deacetylases (HDACs) (IC50 values are 36, 47, 510 and 14,000 nM for HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC4 and HDAC6 respectively). Exhibits cytotoxicity against various human tumor cell lines; also exhibits antitumor activity against human tumor xenografts.External Portal Information
