Antitheilerial Activity of the Anticancer Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors

The apicomplexan parasite, Theileria annulata, is the most prevalent hemoprotozoan in livestock, causing significant economic losses worldwide. It is essential to develop new and improved therapeutics, as current control measures are compromised by the development of resistance against the only avai...

Antitheilerial Activity of the Anticancer Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors
description The apicomplexan parasite, Theileria annulata, is the most prevalent hemoprotozoan in livestock, causing significant economic losses worldwide. It is essential to develop new and improved therapeutics, as current control measures are compromised by the development of resistance against the only available antitheilerial drug, buparvaquone (BPQ). Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) were shown to treat cancer effectively and revealed in vitro antiparasitic activity against apicomplexan parasites such as Plasmodium and Toxoplasma. In this study, we investigated the antitheilerial activity of the four anti-cancer HDACi (vorinostat, romidepsin, belinostat, and panobinostat) against the schizont stage of T. annulata parasites.
