Description

General description

A cell-permeable, short-chained fatty acid that inhibits histone deacetylase activity (IC₅₀ = 400 µM for HDAC1). Induces differentiation and inhibits proliferation of cell lines derived from human malignant gliomas. At therapeutic levels (350 µM-1.04 mM), causes inositol depletion, inhibits both GSK-3α and -3β, activates the ERK pathway, and produces neurotropic effects. Has been used as an anti-epileptic agent. Also reported to stimulate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) activity. Displays a potent teratogenic activity in humans and rodent models.
