HDAC6 ligand-7 (Compound 16a) is a positron emission tomography (PET) tracer for the deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) enzyme with a Kd value of 1.66 nM. HDAC6 ligand-7 exhibits excellent HDAC6 inhibitory activity, with IC50 values of 2.7 and 3.7 nM for hHDAC6 and mHDAC6, respectively, and has high selectivity for HDAC1/4/7/8. HDAC6 ligand-7 after being radioactively labeled with fluorine-18, [¹⁸F]HDAC6 ligand-7 shows varying degrees of radioactive uptake in PET, which can reflect the specific binding to HDAC6. HDAC6 ligand-7 can be used for the study of HDAC6 imaging.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
