Chemical Information
Name4-Phenylbutanoic acid
Description4-phenylbutyrate (4-PBA) is known to be a transcriptional regulator, and sodium-4-PBA has been shown to induce fetal hemoglobin, and it has been used in clinical trials for sickle cell anemia and β-thalassemia Because gene expression profiles became more differentiated, it is in phase I trials in several different malignant disorders. The potential for therapeutic benefit in cystic fibrosis (CF) resides in an additional mechanism, involving protein folding and the ER environment. 4-PBA is a drug that was developed to treat elevated blood ammonia in urea cycle disorders, a histone deacetylase inhibitor that promotes mutation ΔF508 cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) trafficking.
