RESEARCH

Sodium phenylbutyrate (SPB) as a salt of 4-phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA) has been reported to be an ammonia scavenger, histone deacetylase inhibitor, and endoplasmic reticulum stress inhibitor in various diseases, including neurological diseases, inflammatory disorders, and carcinogenesis. Since the early 1990s, sodium phenylbutyrate has been used in clinical studies worldwide. The results of these studies are extremely promising.
