Abstract
Since the discovery that epigenetic modifications may play important roles in tumorigenesis, this discipline has become an attractive area for design of chemotherapeutics. Among the key chromatin modifying enzymes that influence gene expression are histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs). Increased expression of HDACs and disrupted activities of HATs are characteristics of several tumor types. Therefore, inhibition of HDAC represents an attractive target for development of anticancer therapies. Several deacetylase inhibitors have undergone rapid clinical development in recent years. Among these, the deacetylase inhibitor LBH589 (panobinostat) is one of the most widely studied. It has demonstrated favorable .... . © 2010
