PLX4720 | PLX-4720|PLX 4720 | BRAF Inhibitor 25 | PLX4720 is a 7-azaindole derivative and RAF kinase inhibitor with greater affinity for BRAF V600E than BRAF wild-type, which may induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, and lead to tumor growth inhibition and regression (PMID: 18287029). | |
Vorinostat | Zolinza | SAHA|L-001079038|MSK390 | HDAC Inhibitor 45 | Zolinza (vorinostat) inhibits HDAC activity, resulting in cell-cycle arrest, decreased proliferation, and increased differentiation of tumor cells (PMID: 9501205, PMID: 11731433, PMID: 11016644). Zolinza (vorinostat) is FDA approved for use in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (FDA.gov). |
