Butyrylhydroxamic acid (N-Hydroxybutanamide) is a potent histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor. Butyrylhydroxamic acid enhances memory in rodent behavioral models and can be used as a memory enhancer, mood stabilizer, and in the study of β-chain hemoglobin disorders.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
