TUMOR CELL DIFFERENTIATION AGENTS AS CHEMICAL INHIBITORS AND TREATMENTS FOR INTRACELLULAR PARASITES

摘要

The present invention provides new compositions and methods for treatment of intracellular parasites. The compositions comprise one or more hydroxamic acids in an amount sufficient to interfere with the activity of one or more histone deacetylases in the intracellular parasites. The compositions and methods can be used to treat members of the Apicomplexa group of intracellular parasites.
