Therapeutic indications for HDAC6 inhibitors in the peripheral and central nervous disorders

Based on extensive preclinical evidence, pharmacological inhibition of HDAC6 is a promising approach for treating both PNS and CNS disorders, given its involvement in neurodegeneration and aging-related cellular processes. Despite the progress in the development of selective HDAC6 inhibitors, safety concerns remain regarding their chronic administration in PNS and CNS indications, and the development of novel compound classes and modalities inhibiting HDAC6 function offer a way to mitigate some of these safety concerns.
