组蛋白脱乙酰酶抑制剂
（重定向自组蛋白脱乙酰酶抑制剂）
组蛋白脱乙酰酶抑制剂(英语：HDAC inhibitor，简写HDI或HDAC抑制剂)是一种透过抑制身体内组蛋白脱乙酰酶功能的药物类别，亦存在于胎儿及花椒内。现时有健康食品生产商建议透过进食花椒油而达至防癌的功效。
现时医学界有研究透过“组蛋白脱乙酰酶抑制剂”来治疗癌症[1]及神经退行性疾病(neurodegenerative diseases)。这些抑制剂的具体机制，例如有关的化合物如何达到有关的功效，到现在还未清楚。不过，有关文献亦有提出可能的表观遗传学途径[2] Richon et al.[3]发现HDAC抑制剂可以透过引导p21 (WAF1)来调节p53的肿瘤抑制功能[4]。对于 HDAC 抑制剂如何调控基因表达 ，目前已有比较大的进展。持续的研究 HDAC 抑制剂的调节基因机制，将快速促进新药设计及生物标记的鉴定 [5]。
