Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors from Marine Invertebrates
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are key components of the epigenetic machinery controlling gene expression. They are involved in chromatin remodeling events via post-translational histone modifications but may also act on nonhistone proteins, influencing ...

Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors: Synthesis of Tetrapeptide Analogue SAHA/TPX
The inhibition of HDAC (histone deacetylase) activity by specific inhibitors induces growth arrest, differentiation and apoptosis of transformed or several cancer cells. Some of these inhibitors are in clinical trial at phase I or phase II. The discovery

Histone Deacetylases and Their Isoform-Specific Inhibitors in Ischemic Stroke
Cerebral ischemia is the second leading cause of death in the world and multimodal stroke therapy is needed. The ischemic stroke generally reduces the gene expression due to suppression of acetylation of histones H3 and H4.
