Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), which have multipotential differentiation and self-renewal ability, have been becoming an attractive source of seed cells for bone tissue engineering. Nonetheless, the precise underlying mechanisms of osteogenesis of BMSCs have not been fully understood. Retinoic acid-induced gene 3 (RAI3) has been found to play important roles in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) adipogenesis in our previous study.

The water solubility of Vorinostat derivatives, T1 and T2, exhibited 400- to 600-fold higher than that of Vorinostat, and Belinostat derivatives, T3 and T4, showed 600- to 750-fold higher than that of Belinostat. Four compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory activities against tumor cell lines HT-29 and Hut-78 in the absence or presence of β-D-glucuronidase.
