New Drug Zolinza

The 2009 American Society of Hematology (ASH) meeting showcased presentations on Zolinza (vorinostat), a histone deacetylase inhibitor developed by Merck Pharmaceuticals.

Zolinza alters the way a cancer cell’s DNA creates proteins. This can slow down cell proliferation, minimize mutations in DNA and control cell death. Zolinza is being investigated in combination with Revlimid and Velcade.
