Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors: A Prospect in Drug Discovery
Journal Title: Turkish Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
Cancer is a provocative issue across the globe and treatment of uncontrolled cell growth follows a deep investigation in the field of drug discovery. Therefore, there is a crucial requirement for discovering an ingenious medicinally active agent that can amend idle drug targets. Increasing pragmatic evidence implies that histone deacetylases (HDACs) are trapped during cancer progression, which increases deacetylation and triggers changes in malignancy. They provide a ground-breaking scaffold and an attainable key for investigating chemical entity pertinent to HDAC biology as a therapeutic target in the drug discovery context. Due to gene expression, an impending requirement to prudently transfer cytotoxicity to cancerous cells, HDAC inhibitors may be developed as anticancer agents. The present review focuses on the basics of HDAC enzymes, their inhibitors, and therapeutic outcomes.
