Purpose: Given that histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors are known to induce multiple epigenetic modifications affecting signaling networks and act synergistically with phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors, we developed a strategy to simultaneously inhibit HDACs and PI3K in cancer cells.Experimental Design: We constructed dual-acting inhibitors by incorporating HDAC inhibitory functionality into a PI3K inhibitor pharmacophore. CUDC-907, a development candidate selected from these dual inhibitors, was evaluated in vitro and in vivo to determine its pharmacologic properties, anticancer activity, and mechanism of action.Results: CUDC-907 potently inhibits class I PI3Ks as well as classes I and II HDAC enzymes. Through its integrated HDAC inhibitory activity, CUDC-907 durably inhibits the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway and compensatory signaling molecules such as RAF, MEK, MAPK, and STAT-3, as well as upstream receptor tyrosine kinases. CUDC-907 shows greater growth inhibition and proapoptotic activity than single-target PI3K or HDAC inhibitors in both cultured and implanted cancer cells.Conclusions: CUDC-907 may offer improved therapeutic benefits through simultaneous, sustained disruption of multiple oncogenic signaling networks.
