Mechanisms of Selective Anticancer Action of Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors

Abstract excerpt

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) regulate transcription and specific functions, such as tumor suppression by p53, and are frequently altered in cancer. Inhibitors of HDACs (HDACI) possess anti-tumor activity and are well tolerated, suggesting that they might develop into a specific strategy for cancer treatment. Indeed, HDACIs have successfully entered clinical trials, but the molecular basis for their selective...
