Tucidinostat (INN, also known as chidamide and sold under the brand names Epidaza and Hiyasta) is a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDI) developed in China.[1] It was also known as HBI-8000.[2] It is a benzamide HDI and inhibits Class I HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3, as well as Class IIb HDAC10.[3]
Tucidinostat is being researched as a treatment for pancreatic cancer.[5][6][7] However, it is not US FDA approved for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.
