MSH: Compounds that inhibit HISTONE DEACETYLASES. This class of drugs may influence gene expression by increasing the level of acetylated HISTONES in specific CHROMATIN domains.,NCI: A substance that causes a chemical change that stops tumor cells from dividing. HDAC inhibitors are being studied in the treatment of cancer.,NCI: Any substance that inhibits histone deacetylase, an enzyme that catalyzes the removal of acetyl groups from core histones. Inhibition of histone deacetylase can result in hyperacetylation of histones, with an effect on gene expression and cell differentiation.
