Sodium butanoate
Sodium butanoate is the sodium salt of butyric acid, a short-chain fatty acid that acts as a competitive inhibitor of class I and II histone deacetylases (HDACs) by binding to the zinc site. This HDAC inhibitory activity underpins its research applications in studying epigenetics, cellular differentiation, and its potential antitumor effects in both in vitro and in vivo models.
