Sulforaphane is an orally active inducer of the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE pathway. Sulforaphane promotes the transcription of tumor-suppressing proteins and effectively inhibits the activity of HDACs. Through the activation of the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE pathway and further induction of HO-1 expression, Sulforaphane protects the heart. Sulforaphane suppresses high glucose-induced pancreatic cancer through AMPK-dependent signal transmission. Sulforaphane exhibits both anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties.

HDAC11-IN-5 is a selective, potent and orally active HDAC11 inhibitor with an IC₅₀ of 0.021 μM. HDAC11-IN-5 increases fatty acylation levels of substrate SHMT2 in AML cells. HDAC11-IN-5 induces apoptosis, G1 phase cell cycle arrest, ferroptosis, ROS production and terminal myeloid differentiation in AML cells. HDAC11-IN-5 demonstrates anti-tumor potency in an MLL-AF9-induced mouse AML model. HDAC11-IN-5 can be used for the research of cancer, such as acute myeloid leukemia.

Sodium Butyrate (sodium butanoate) is an inhibitor of HDAC, possessing anti-tumor activity.

Panobinostat (LBH589; NVP-LBH589) is a potent and orally active non-selective HDAC inhibitor, and has antineoplastic activities. Panobinostat induces HIV-1 virus production even at low concentration range 8-31 nM, stimulates HIV-1 expression in latently infected cells. Panobinostat induces cell apoptosis and autophagy. Panobinostat can be used for the study of refractory or relapsed multiple myeloma.

Romidepsin (FK 228) is a Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor with anti-tumor activities. Romidepsin (FK 228) inhibits HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC4, and HDAC6 with IC₅₀s of 36 nM, 47 nM, 510 nM and 1.4 μM, respectively. Romidepsin (FK 228) is produced by Chromobacterium violaceum, induces cell G2/M phase arrest and apoptosis.

Valproic acid (Sodium Valproate) sodium is an orally active HDAC inhibitor, with IC₅₀ in the range of 0.5 and 2 mM, also inhibits HDAC1 (IC₅₀, 400 μM), and induces proteasomal degradation of HDAC2. Valproic acid sodium activates Notch1 signaling and inhibits proliferation in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cells. Valproic acid sodium is used in the treatment of epilepsy, bipolar disorder, metabolic disease, HIV infection and prevention of migraine headaches.

RGFP966 is a highly selective HDAC3 inhibitor with an IC₅₀ of 80 nM and shows no inhibition to other HDACs at concentrations up to 15 μM. RGFP966 can penetrate the blood brain barrier (BBB).

Tucidinostat (Chidamide) is a potent and orally bioavailable HDAC enzymes class I (HDAC1/2/3) and class IIb (HDAC10) inhibitor, with IC₅₀s of 95, 160, 67 and 78 nM, less active on HDAC8 and HDAC11 (IC₅₀s, 733 nM, 432 nM, respectively), and shows no effect on HDAC4/5/6/7/9.

Sodium 4-phenylbutyrate (4-PBA sodium) is an inhibitor of HDAC and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, used in cancer and infection research.

Belinostat (PXD101; PX105684) is a potent HDAC inhibitor with an IC₅₀ of 27 nM in HeLa cell extracts.

Tubastatin A is a potent and selective HDAC6 inhibitor with an IC₅₀ of 15 nM in a cell-free assay, and is selective (1000-fold more) against all other isozymes except HDAC8 (57-fold more). Tubastatin A also inhibits HDAC10 and metallo-β-lactamase domain-containing protein 2 (MBLAC2).

Carbamazepine is an orally active pressure-sensitive sodium ion channel blocker with an IC₅₀ of 131 μM. Carbamazepine blocks voltage gated Na⁺, Ca²⁺, and K⁺ channels, and is also a HDAC inhibitor (IC₅₀: 2 μM).
