“…Several of these HDAC inhibitors inhibit tumor growth, and many of these are under clinical trials. Trichostatin A (TSA), a cyclic tetrapeptide family, including trapoxin (TPX), chlamydocin, HC toxin, Cyl-1, Cyl-2, WF-3161, apicidin, and the recent depsipeptide FK228 (formerly FR901228) are naturally occurring HDAC inhibitors (Figure ). Inhibitors such as butyrate, valproate, suberoyl anilide hydroxamic acid, analogues of TSA, and benzamide derivatives of MS-275 14 were prepared through synthetic methods.…”
