Biological activities

Tubastatin A is a selective histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) inhibitor with an IC50 of 15 nM. Besides, tubastatin A inhibits HDAC1 with an IC50 of 16.4 µM, with 1000-fold less selectivity compares with HDAC6. Tubastatin A also shows moderate potency against HDAC8 with an IC50 of 814 nM and low potency against all other isozymes with IC50 more than 30 µM. Tubastatin A confers dose-dependent protection in primary cortical neuron cultures against glutathione depletion-induced oxidative stress. Moreover, tubastatin A induces a-tubulin hyperacetylation at 2.5 µM. Slight induction of histone hyperacetylation is seen for tubastatin A at 10 µM, which may reflect inhibition of the limited histone deacetylase activity of HDAC6 or slight inhibition of class I HDACs at higher concentrations. Tubastatin A displays dose-dependent protection against HCA-induced neuronal cell death starting at 5 µM with near complete protection at 10 µM. Tubastatin A is the first neuroprotective hydroxamic acid-based HDAC inhibitor that does not cause neuronal death when tested alone in the homocysteic acid (HCA) model. [1] Tubastatin A treatment results in a significant increase of acetylated α-tubulin amounts in peripheral nerves. Tubastatin A treatment significantly increases the motor performance of HSPB1S135F-expressing mice. [2]

Protocols

A 15 mM stock solution of tubastatin A is prepared in DMSO. [3]
