Valproic acid (VPA) has been demonstrated to be able to inhibit histone deacetylase activity and to synergize with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) in inducing the differentiation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. A pilot study of the VPA/ATRA combination was performed in 11 elderly patients with de novo AML (median age, 82 years). Complete marrow response was observed in 3 patients, including 1 complete remission. Two additional patients had hematologic improvement.
丙戊酸(VPA)已被证明能够抑制组蛋白脱乙酰酶活性,并与全反式维甲酸(ATRA)协同作用诱导急性髓性白血病(AML)细胞分化。对11例初发AML老年患者(中位年龄82岁)进行了VPA/ATRA联合治疗的初步研究。3例患者观察到完全骨髓反应,包括1例完全缓解。另外2例患者有血液学改善。
