CUDC-101 is a potent inhibitor of HDAC, EGFR, and HER2 with IC₅₀s of 4.4, 2.4, and 15.7 nM, respectively. CUDC-101 is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Alkyne group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing Azide groups.

CUDC-101 inhibits both class I and class II HDACs, but not class III, Sir-type HDACs. CUDC-101 displays broad antiproliferative activity in many human cancer cell types. CUDC-101 is a potent and selective HDAC, EGFR, and HER2 inhibitor with only weak inhibition of the following protein kinases (IC₅₀): KDR (VEGFR2) (849 nM), Src (11000 nM), Lyn (840 nM), Lck (5910 nM), Abl-1 (2890 nM), FGFR-2 (3430 nM), Flt-3 (1500 nM), and Ret (3200 nM)^[1].
CUDC-101 (300 nM) inhibits both the full length AR (flAR) and the AR variant AR-V7^[2].
CUDC-101 is the most active agent in all three ATC cell lines screened for inhibitors of EGFR and HDACs, with half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) at 0.15 μM for 8505c, and 1.66 μM for both C-643 and SW-1736 cells. CUDC-101 inhibits cancer cell migration and modulates epithelial-mesenchymal transition marker expression in ATC cells. CUDC-101 also inhibits HDAC and MAPK pathway, induces p21, and decreases survivin and XIAP expression in ATC cells^[3].
CUDC-101 (1 μM) increases the acetylation of p53 and α-tubulin, nonhistone substrates of HDAC, in treated cancer cells. CUDC-101 modulates RTK activity and expression and exhibits immediate and stable inhibition of RTK and downstream Akt signaling^[4].
