Biological Activity
PCI-34051 is a potent and selective histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) inhibitor with an IC50 of. It exhibits over 200-fold selectivity for HDAC8 over HDAC1 and HDAC6, and more than 1000-fold selectivity over HDAC2, HDAC3, and HDAC10. PCI-34051 induces mitochondrial cytochrome c release and caspase-dependent apoptosis, demonstrating selective cytotoxic activity against T-cell malignancy cell lines without causing widespread histone or tubulin hyperacetylation.

Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
- Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
- Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
- For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
- Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).

Pre-aliquoted for Longevity: Solid-state aliquots offer longer shelf life compared to stock solutions.
