Nexturastat, a novel Urea-based HDAC6 inhibitor effective against specific cancers
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) mediate regulation of gene expression via changes in nucleosome conformation.  Dysregulation of histone acetylation, can lead to the development of cancers. There is renewed interest in capitalizing new breakthroughs in epigenetic research to address oncology therapy. Epigenetic regulation and subsequent gene expression or silencing represents a tightly orchestrated interplay among enzymes responsible for modifying the tails of histones, around which nuclear DNA is wrapped.
Novel Isoxazole-Based HDAC6 Selective Inhibitors for the Treatment of Charcott-Marie-Tooth (CMT), a new epigenetic approach to therapy
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) mediate regulation of gene expression via changes in nucleosome conformation.  Dysregulation of histone acetylation, involving CBP, a neuroprotective transcription factor with histone acetyltransferase activity, has been found in Huntington’s disease (HD), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome. In a cellular model of AD, cell death was accompanied by loss of CBP function and histone deacetylation. 
Carbazole Derivatives as G9a Methyltransferase Inhibitors for Cancer Treatment and Autophagy Induction.
G9a is overexpressed in various human cancer including leukemia, prostate cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma and lung cancer. Inhibitors of G9a are candidates for cancer treatment. A new family of G9A inhibitors have been recently identified and characterized. Through the characterization of these inhibitors, insight has been gained on the mechanistic contribution of G9a in the deregulation of the cell cycle in cancer and methyltransferase G9a regulation of a crucial step in cellular degradation.
