Figure 1 A Schematic View of the Activity of Some Hydroxamic Acid-Based HDAC Inhibitors, Such as Panobinostat/LBH-589 (A) At concentrations below 1 μM, close to those used in clinic, panobinostat acts by inhibiting HDACs, which leads to increased levels of histone acetylation and transcriptional changes that result in enhanced protection from oxidative stress. HDACi, HDAC inhibitor. (B) At concentrations above 1 μM, panobinostat and some other hydroxamic acid-based HDAC inhibitors exhibit an additional activity that protect against oxidative stress as they directly catalyze conversion of hydrogen peroxide to water.
