Highly Potent and Selective Histone Deacetylase 6 Inhibitors Designed Based on a Small-Molecular Substrate
摘要:
To find novel histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6)-selective inhibitors and clarify the structural requirements for HDAC6-selective inhibition, we prepared thiolate analogues designed based on the structure of an HDAC6-selective substrate and evaluated the histone/ alpha-tubulin acetylation selectivity by Western blot analysis. Aliphatic compounds 17b-20b selectively caused alpha-tubulin acetylation over histone H4 acetylation. In enzyme assays using HDAC1, HDAC4, and HDAC6, compounds 17a-19a exhibited HDAC6-selective inhibition over HDAC1 and HDAC4.

Design, Synthesis, Structure−Selectivity Relationship, and Effect on Human Cancer Cells of a Novel Series of Histone Deacetylase 6-Selective Inhibitors
To uncover novel histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6)-selective inhibitors and to elucidate the structural requirements for their inhibitory activity, we designed and prepared a series of thiolate analogues based on the structure of an HDAC6-selective substrate and evaluated their properties by Western blotting and enzyme assays. Several thiolate analogues were found to be potent and selective HDAC6 inhibitors. Study of the structure -selectivity relationship revealed that the presence of a bulky alkyl group and tert-butylcarbamate group in these compounds is important for HDAC6-selective inhibition. Compounds 16b and 20b, the most selective and active compounds in this series, exerted a synergistic inhibition of cancer cell growth in combination with paclitaxel. They also blocked the growth of estrogen receptor alpha-positive breast cancer MCF-7 cells that had been treated with estrogen. These findings suggested that HDAC6-selective inhibitors have potential as anticancer agents.
