Entinostat CAS 209783-80-2
Class I HDAC Inhibitor (SNDX-275, MS-275)
Entinostat (CAS 209783-80-2), also SNDX-275 / MS-275, is an orally bioavailable benzamide inhibitor of class I histone deacetylases HDAC1 and HDAC3 (IC50 ~0.18-0.51 and ~0.74-1.7 uM respectively), with selectivity over HDAC8. By restoring histone acetylation it reactivates silenced tumor-suppressor genes and modulates the immune microenvironment. Molecular formula C21H20N4O3, MW 376.41. Research-grade with COA.

Key Molecular Targets & Pathway Nodes
Entinostat's reach is the epigenetic machinery and the transcriptional programs — plus the immune microenvironment — that HDAC1/HDAC3 tone controls.
How Entinostat Works: Reopening Silent Chromatin
Entinostat blocks class I HDACs, letting histones stay acetylated so repressed genes can be read
HDAC1/HDAC3 Catalytic Blockade
Entinostat binds the catalytic zinc pocket of class I HDACs, preferentially inhibiting HDAC1 (IC50 ~0.18-0.51 uM) and HDAC3 (~0.74-1.7 uM), while sparing HDAC8 (IC50 >100 uM). This stops removal of acetyl groups from lysine residues on histone tails.
Histone Hyperacetylation & Open Chromatin
With deacetylation blocked, histones H3 and H4 accumulate acetyl marks, weakening histone-DNA interaction and converting compact heterochromatin toward transcriptionally permissive euchromatin. Promoters previously locked by HDAC-driven silencing become accessible to the transcription machinery.
Reactivation, Cell-Cycle Arrest & Immune Modulation
Re-expressed tumor-suppressor and differentiation genes drive G1 arrest, apoptosis and differentiation. Clinically, entinostat also remodels the tumor microenvironment — reducing regulatory T cells and enhancing anti-tumor immunity — which underlies its synergy with endocrine therapy and immune approaches.

Research Applications & Models
Entinostat is a founder of epigenetic combination therapy — from breast cancer to NSCLC and the emerging immuno-epigenetics field.
Breast Cancer & Endocrine Therapy
Studied with aromatase inhibitors and fulvestrant in hormone-receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer, where HDAC inhibition re-sensitizes resistant clones (e.g., the ENCORE 301 paradigm). A flagship epigenetic-combination model.
HR+ BCNon-Small-Cell Lung Cancer
Investigated with EGFR and chemotherapy backbones and, increasingly, with immunotherapy, to overcome epigenetic silencing of immune and tumor-suppressor programs in NSCLC.
NSCLCEpigenetic Reactivation Studies
A reference class I HDAC inhibitor for chromatin immunoprecipitation, histone-acetylation Western panels and reporter assays probing silenced-gene re-expression.
ChromatinImmuno-Oncology & Treg Modulation
Explored for reducing regulatory T-cell suppressive activity and improving checkpoint-inhibitor responses — the growing field of epigenetic priming of immunity.
Treg / IODifferentiation & Apoptosis Models
Used to induce myeloid differentiation and apoptosis in leukemic and solid-tumor lines, leveraging HDAC1/HDAC3 control of differentiation programs.
DifferentiationHDAC Selectivity Profiling
Benchmarked against pan-HDAC and class-I/II agents to map which HDAC isoforms drive specific phenotypes — important for isoform-selective drug discovery.
HDAC IsoformsCombination Screening
Deployed with hormonal, cytotoxic and immune agents to find synergy and overcome acquired resistance via chromatin remodeling.
Combo MatrixAging & Senescence Research
HDAC inhibition modulates cellular senescence and stress responses; entinostat is used in models of senescence-associated secretory phenotype and age-related epigenetic drift.
SenescenceKey Literature & Landmark Publications
Landmark papers on HDAC inhibition and entinostat clinical translation.
