<i>In vitro</i> and <i>ex vivo</i> evaluation of second‐generation histone deacetylase inhibitors for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy
18 May 2006
Abstract excerpt
Among a panel of histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors investigated, suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) evolved as a potent and non-toxic candidate drug for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), an alpha-motoneurone disorder caused by insufficient survival motor neuron (SMN) protein levels. SAHA increased SMN levels at low micromolar concentrations in several neuroectodermal tissues, including rat...
