Abstract
Protein acetylation is a reversible central mechanism to control gene expression and cell
signaling events. Current evidence suggests that pharmacological inhibitors for protein deacetylation
have already been used in various disease conditions. Accumulating reports showed that several
compounds that enhance histone acetylation in cells are in both the preclinical and clinical development
stages targeting non-communicable diseases, which include cancerous and non-cancerous
especially cardiovascular complications. These compounds are, in general, enzyme inhibitors and
target a family of enzymes- called histone deacetylases (HDACs). Since HDAC inhibitors have
shown to be helpful in preclinical models of cardiac complications, further research on developing
novel compounds with high efficacy and low toxicity may be essential for treating cardiovascular
diseases. In this review, we have highlighted the roles of HDAC and its inhibitors in cardiac complications.
