Benzenebutanoic acid

Common Name

Benzenebutanoic acid Description

Benzenebutanoic acid (also known as 4-phenylbutyrate, or 4-PBA) is the oral form of butyrate, which is known to be a transcriptional regliator. 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 (endoplasmic reticlium) environment (PMID 12458151 ). 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 regliator (CFTR) trafficking (PMID 16798551 ).
