Belinostat

Identification

Summary

Belinostat is a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor used for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL).

Brand Names
Beleodaq
Generic Name
Belinostat
DrugBank Accession Number
DB05015
Background

Belinostat is a novel agent that inhibits the enzyme histone deacetylase (HDAC) with a sulfonamide-hydroxamide structure. It was developed as an orphan drug to target hematological malignancies and solid tumors by TopoTarget. The safety and efficacy of belinostat is currently being evaluated for use in combination with traditional front-line therapies for the treatment of PTCL. Intravenous administration of the agent is available as Beleodaq as monotherapy and the dosing regimen involves a 21-day cycle. It was US-approved in July 2014 as a therapeutic agent for relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma.

Pharmacology

Indication

Belinostat is indicated for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) with manageable safety profile. It is a potential alternative therapy for patients who did not experience adequate response to first-line drugs for PTCL. It can be used in patients with baseline thrombocytopenia 2.

Pharmacodynamics

Beleodaq is a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor that exhibits pan-HDAC inhibition and potent growth inhibitory and pro-apoptotic activities in a variety of tumor cells, including PTCL cells, at nanomolar concentrations 2. None of the trials show any clinically relevant changes caused by Beleodaq on heart rate, PR duration or QRS duration as measures of autonomic state, atrio-ventricular conduction or depolarization; there were no cases of Torsades de Pointes.

Mechanism of action

Belinostat inhibits the activity of histone deacetylase (HDAC) thus prevents the removal of acetyl groups from the lysine residues of histones and some non-histone proteins. In vitro, belinostat caused the accumulation of acetylated histones and other proteins, increased the expression of tumor-suppressor genes. It ultimately induces cell cycle arrest, inhibition of angiogenesis and/or apoptosis of some transformed cells.

Volume of distribution

The volume of distribution is 409 ± 76.7 L.

Protein binding

92.9% and 95.8% of belinostat is bound to protein.

Metabolism

Primarily metabolized by hepatic UGT1A1. Strong UGT1A1 inhibitors are expected to increase exposure to belinostat. Belinostat also undergoes hepatic metabolism by CYP2A6, CYP2C9, and CYP3A4 enzymes to form belinostat amide and belinostat acid. The enzymes responsible for the formation of methyl belinostat and 3-(anilinosulfonyl)-benzenecarboxylic acid, (3-ASBA) are not known

Route of elimination

Approximately 40% of the belinostat dose is excreted renally, primarily as metabolites and less than 2% of total dose recovered as unchanged parent drug.

Half-life

Displays a three-compartment pharmacokinetic property with elimination half life of 1.1 hours

Clearance

1240 mL/min

Toxicity

Belinostat is genotoxic according to Ames test and may impair male fertility. Weekly complete blood count should be monitored during treatment to adjust the dosage as intravenous infusion of belinostat is frequently associated with hematologic toxicity such as leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. Incidences of infections such as sepsis, hepatotoxicity, tumor lysis syndrome, gastrointestinal toxicity, and embryo-fetal toxicity may occur. No specific information is available on the treatment of overdosage of Beleodaq. There is no antidote for Beleodaq and it is not known if Beleodaq is dialyzable. If an overdose occurs, general supportive measures should be instituted as deemed necessary by the treating physician.
