AN-9 is a HDAC inhibitor with antimetastatic and antiangiogenic properties. These anticancer activities are thought to occur by reducing vascularization and the expression of bFGF and HIF-1α.

HDAC Inhibitor tested as an anti-cancer drug; butyric acid pro-drug
The ability of mitoxantrone to form DNA adducts was investigated in a series of human tumor cell lines consisting of human cervical cancer (HeLa), human breast cancer (MCF-7), and human neuroblastoma (IMR-32) cells. The mitoxantrone-resistant human promyelocytic leukemia cell line

A novel butyric acid derivative, pivaloyloxymethyl butyrate, AN-9, was previously shown to be a potent differentiating agent. AN-9 exerts a significant anticancer activity in vitro and in vivo. In all the activities examined, AN-9 was more potent than butyric acid.
Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is associated with the high TK activity chimeric protein BCR-ABL, known to contribute to cell tumorogenicity, resistance to apoptosis and differentiation. STI571, the TK inhibitor, is the current treatment for CML. One possible approach to overcome
Investigational new drugs, 16(2), 113-119 (1998-12-16)
The anti-proliferative effects of pivaloyloxymethyl butyrate (AN-9), a butyric acid (BA) derivative with potent tumor-differentiating properties both in vitro and in vivo, was evaluated against colorectal, breast, lung, ovarian, renal cell, bladder, and other types of tumor colony-forming units in

A derivative of butyric acid, pivalyloxymethyl butyrate (AN-9), inhibited the proliferation and induced apoptosis of mouse monocytic leukaemia Mm-A cells, although sodium butyrate, but not AN-9, induced differentiation of the cells. AN-9 and DNA-specific antineoplastic agents synergistically inhibited the growth
