Mechanism of action

By inhibiting histone deacetylases, ifupinostat increases acetylation of histone and non-histone proteins, leading to altered chromatin structure and reactivation of tumor suppressor genes. This mechanism also enhances immune cell function and can sensitize cancer cells to other therapies, making it a potential combination agent in oncology.
