Panobinostat (LBH-589) is an experimental drug developed by Novartis for the treatment of various cancers. It is a hydroxamic acid[1] and acts as a non-selective histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDAC inhibitor).[2]

As of December 2008[update], it is being tested against cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL), chronic myelogenous leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, breast cancer, prostate cancer and other types of malignant disease in a number of Phase II and III clinical trials,[3][4] for example a Phase III study for CTCL.[5]
Panobinostat has been found to synergistically act with sirolimus to kill pancreatic cancer cells in the laboratory in a Mayo Clinic study. In the study, investigators found that this combination destroyed up to 65 percent of cultured pancreatic tumor cells. The finding is significant because the three cell lines studies were all resistant to the effects of chemotherapy – as are many pancreatic tumors.[6]
Panobinostat has also recently been found to significantly increase in vitro the survival of motor neuron (SMN) protein levels in cells of patients suffering from spinal muscular atrophy.[7]
Panobinostat inhibits multiple histone deacetylase enzymes, a mechanism leading to apoptosis of malignant cells via multiple pathways.[1]
