## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Valproic acid (VPA), a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, induced in vitro differentiation of primary acute myeloid leukemia (AML) blasts, an effect enhanced by allβtrans retinoic acid (ATRA). Clinical responses to VPA were recently observed in patients with myelodyspl
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. The treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) remains a challenge to the clinician despite recent advances. Many patients will either not respond or will have only limited and/or brief responses to singleβagent therapy. Eventually, 30% of patients with MDS will progre
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Valproic acid (VPA) inhibits histone deacetylase activity and, synergizing with allβtrans retinoic acid (ATRA), achieves differentiation induction of myeloid blast cells in vitro. ## METHODS We used VPA in 58 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who were too old a
