Various neurodegenerative diseases are associated with aberrant gene expression. We recently identified a novel class of pimelic o-aminobenzamide histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors that show promise as therapeutics in the neurodegenerative diseases Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) and Huntington's disease (HD).
