Ifupinostat (trade name Betlin) is a drug used for the treatment of cancer. It is approved in China for adults with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who have received at least two lines of systemic therapy.[1] It is being developed by BeBetter Med.[2]

Ifupinostat acts as both a phosphoinositide 3-kinase α (PI3Kα) inhibitor and a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor.[1][3][4]
