Glioblastoma is the most malignant brain tumor and presents high resistance to chemotherapy radiotherapy. Surgery, radiotherapy with temozolomide are only treatments against this tumor. New targeted therapies, including epigenetic modulators such as 3‑deazaneplanocin A (DZ‑Nep; an EZH2 inhibitor) panobinostat (a histone deacetylase being tested in vitro, together temozolomide. The present study...

central nervous system axons fail to regenerate after spinal cord injury (sci), partially due to the accumulation of extracellular matrix molecules in the lesion and formation of the glial scar. depakine, as known as histone deacetylase inhibitor, has neuroprotective effects. this study evaluated the histological changes (cavitation and axon regeneration) after sci associated with (following ad...

Wound healing disorders including diabetic ulcers, chronic venous leg ulcers and pressure are still remains uncured pose a stern challenge to health care system. Accumulation of dysfunctional macrophages over time have been identified as major underlying cause for wounds, however molecular events regulating these unclear. In present study, we found that histone H3K27 acetylation, an epigenetic ...

Zinc-dependent histone deacetylase 8 removes the epsilon-acetyl groups present in the N-terminal lysine residues of histone proteins, thereby restricting various transcription factors from being expressed. Inhibition of this enzyme has been reported to be a novel strategy in cancer treatment. To identify novel and diverse leads for use in potent histone deacetylase 8 inhibitor design, a pharmac...

The first total synthesis of spiruchostatin B, a potent histone deacetylase inhibitor, was achieved in a convergent manner; the synthesis established stereochemistry at the C5'' position.
