Exploring branched substrate-like HDAC inhibitors, mimicking the peptide substrate, lead to a series of aminosuberoyl hydroxamic acids (ASHAs) with remarkable HDAC inhibitory activity. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors that target Class I and Class II HDACs are currently in advanced clinical tri...
