FT234 (FT-234) is a selective HDAC11 inhibitor.FT234 demonstrated significant reduction in self-renewal stem-like SP cells with 2 uM FT234 or FT895, as well as the formation of vascular networks by SP cells at 5 uM compound treatment.FT234 significantly decreased the mRNA of Sox2 as well as its target genes like HK2 and PDK2 in SPAdh cells.FT234 compound inhibited the growth and viability by 60–80% in both A549 and H1650 cells at 5-10 uM, inhibited the viability of cancer cell lines A549 and H1650 ranged from 4.663–6.594 uM, reduced the viability of chemo-resistant cancer cells as well as chemo-insensitive CSCs.FT234 selectively prevent growth of cancer cells in presence of cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs).
