Chemistry:RGFP963

From HandWiki

RGFP963, or RGFP-963, is a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor which is used in scientific research.[1][2][3][4][5] It is a selective class I HDAC inhibitor, including of HDAC1, HDAC2, and HDAC3 (IC50 = 1,510 nM, 750 nM, and 96 nM, respectively).[1][2] The drug also weakly inhibits HDAC10 (IC50 = 6,640–10,000 nM), whereas it showed no inhibition of other HDACs at a concentration of up to 20,000 nM.[1][2] RGFP963 enhances the consolidation of cued fear extinction in rodents, with this thought to be mediated by inhibition of HDAC1 and/or HDAC2 and not by inhibition of HDAC3.[1][4] In addition, the drug promotes synaptogenesis in vitro and enhances memory in an animal model of Alzheimer's disease in rodents.[2][4][6] It also enhanced cognition in a model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in rodents.[3] The pharmacokinetics of RGFP963 have been studied and it is brain-penetrant in rodents.[1] RGFP963 was first described in the scientific literature by 2015.[1][2]
