Introduction of Vorinostat is approximately 9. Vorinostat is slightly Vorinostat is a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, soluble in water, alcohol, isopropanol and acetone and is structurally belonging to the hydroxymate group. Other completely soluble in dimethyl sulfoxide. drugs in this group include Givinostat, Abexinostat, Mechanism of action Panobinostat, Belinostat and Trichostatin A. These Vorinostat is a broad inhibitor of HDAC activity and inhibits are an emergency class of drugs with potential anti- class I and class II HDAC enzymes.[2,3] However, Vorinostat neoplastic activity. These drugs were developed with the does not inhibit HDACs belonging to class III. Based on realization that apart from genetic mutation, alteration crystallographic studies, it has been seen that Vorinostat of HDAC enzymes affected the phenotypic and genotypic binds to the zinc atom of the catalytic site of the HDAC expression in cells, which in turn lead to disturbed enzyme with the phenyl ring of Vorinostat projecting out of homeostasis and neoplastic growth.

  • FARYDAK (Panobinostat) RATIONALE for INCLUSION in PA PROGRAM
    FARYDAK (panobinostat) RATIONALE FOR INCLUSION IN PA PROGRAM Background Farydak (panobinostat) is the first histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor approved to treat multiple myeloma in patients who have received at least two prior standard therapies, including bortezomib and an immunomodulatory agent. Farydak is to be used in combination with bortezomib, a type of chemotherapy, and dexamethasone, an anti-inflammatory medication. Multiple myeloma causes plasma cells to rapidly multiply and crowd out other healthy blood cells from the bone marrow. When the bone marrow has too many plasma cells, the cells may move to other parts of the body. Farydak works by inhibiting the activity of enzymes, known as histone deacetylases (HDACs). The inhibition of these enzymes may slow the over development of plasma cells in multiple myeloma patients or cause these dangerous cells to die (1). Regulatory Status FDA-approved indication: Farydak, a histone deacetylase inhibitor, in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone, is indicated for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least 2 prior regimens, including bortezomib and an immunomodulatory agent (2). Farydak carries a Boxed Warning alerting patients and health care professionals that severe diarrhea and severe and fatal cardiac events, arrhythmias and electrocardiogram (ECG) changes have occurred in patients receiving Farydak. Arrhythmias may be exacerbated by electrolyte abnormalities. The most common laboratory abnormalities were low levels of phosphorus in the blood (hypophosphatemia), low potassium levels in the blood (hypokalemia), low levels of salt in the blood (hyponatremia), increased creatinine, low platelets (thrombocytopenia), low white blood cell counts (leukopenia) and low red blood cell counts (anemia).
