HDAC-IN-76

HDAC-IN-76 (compound 6i), a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, demonstrates robust antimalarial activity, particularly against the asexual blood stages of Plasmodium. The compound exhibits potent efficacy with IC 50 values of 30 nM and 98 nM against Pf3D7 (chloroquine drug-susceptible strain) and PfDd2 (chloroquine drug-resistant strain), respectively. Moreover, HDAC-IN-76 shows selective inhibition towards parasites, displaying IC 50 values of 7 nM and 9 nM against human HDAC1 and HDAC6, respectively, and effectively inhibits PfHDAC1.
