Vorinostat, sold under the brand name Zolinza, is a medication used for cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL).[1] Specifically it is used when the disease persists, gets worse, or comes back during or after two other treatments.[1] It is taken by mouth.[1]

Common side effects include diarrhea, tiredness, change in taste, low platelets, hair loss, cough, and fever.[1] Other severe side effects may include blood clots and high blood sugar.[1] Use during pregnancy may harm the baby.[1] It is a histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDI).[1]

Vorinostat was approved for medical use in the United States in 2006.[1] While it was given orphan medication status in Europe in 2004, in 2009 the application for approval was withdrawn.[4] In the United States it costs about 14,600 USD per month as of 2021.[5]

Medical uses

Vorinostat is used for CTCL.[6] The European Medicines Agency in 2009 viewed the benefit as being unclear and thus it was not approved for use their.[4]

Dosage

The typical dose is 400 mg taken once per day.[1]

Mechanism of action

Proposed mechanism of action of vorinostat in inducing tumor cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis(sites of action of other anti-tumor agents also shown)[7]

Vorinostat has been shown to bind to the active site of histone deacetylases and act as a chelator for zinc ions also found in the active site of histone deacetylases.[8]

Vorinostat's inhibition of histone deacetylases results in the accumulation of acetylated histones and acetylated proteins, including transcription factors crucial for the expression of genes needed to induce cell differentiation.[8]

It acts on class I, II and IV of histone deacetylase.

History

The compound was developed by Columbia University chemist Ronald Breslow and Memorial Sloan-Kettering researcher Paul Marks.[9][10]

Vorinostat was the first histone deacetylase inhibitor[11] approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of CTCL on October 6, 2006.[6]

Research

It failed to demonstrate efficacy in treating acute myeloid leukemia in a phase II study.[12]

Vorinostat has also been used to treat Sézary syndrome, another type of lymphoma closely related to CTCL.[13]

A study suggested that vorinostat also possesses some activity against recurrent glioblastoma multiforme, resulting in a median overall survival of 5.7 months (compared to 4–4.4 months in earlier studies).[14] Further brain tumor trials are planned in which vorinostat will be combined with other drugs.

Including vorinostat in treatment of advanced non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) showed improved response rates and increased median progression free survival and overall survival.[15]

It has given encouraging results in a phase II trial for myelodysplastic syndromes in combination with idarubicin and cytarabine.[16]
