A patent review of histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) inhibitors (2013-present).

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The processes and course of several fatal illnesses, such as cancer, inflammatory diseases, and neurological disorders are closely correlated with HDAC8. Therefore, novel HDAC8 inhibitors represent effective therapeutic possibilities that may help treat these conditions. To yet, there are not any such particular HDAC8 inhibitors available for sale. This review was conducted to examine recent HDAC8 inhibitors that have been patented over the last 10 years. AREAS COVERED This review focuses on HDAC8 inhibitor-related patents and their therapeutic applications that have been published within the last 10 years and are accessible through the Patentscope and Google Patents databases. EXPERT OPINION A handful of HDAC8 inhibitor-related patents have been submitted over the previous 10 years, more selective, and specific HDAC8 inhibitors that are intended to treat a variety of medical diseases. This could lead to the development of novel treatment approaches that target HDAC8. Employing theoretical frameworks and experimental procedures can reveal the creation of new HDAC8 inhibitors with enhanced pharmacokinetic characteristics. A thorough understanding of the role that HDAC8 inhibitors play in cancer, including the mechanisms behind HDAC8 in other disorders is necessary.
