Histone deacetylases tighten the packaging of DNA so that genes are switched off. Drugs that block them loosen the packaging and can wake up genes that make lymphoma cells stop growing or die. This dossier gathers the 3 products (1 approved), 5 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
Inhibition causes histone hyperacetylation, cell-cycle arrest via p21 induction, apoptosis and reduced angiogenesis; class-related toxicities are fatigue, thrombocytopenia, diarrhoea and QT prolongation.
