Synthesis and properties of PI polyamide–SAHA conjugate
摘要:
We have designed and synthesized new types of pyrrole (P)-imidazole (1) polyamide conjugates 1 and 2 possessing a suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) moiety that is a Strong inhibitor of histone deacetylase (HDAC). SAHA conjugate 2 was designed to target the Promoter region of the p16 tumor suppressor gene. The DNA binding affinity of SAHA conjugate 2 to its target sequence was examined using surface plasmon resonance. HDAC inhibition activity of conjugates 1 and 2 was evaluated using a colorimetric assay. The results demonstrated that even though it possesses the relatively large SAHA moiety, conjugate 2 has high DNA sequence-specific binding properties and moderate HDAC inhibitory activity in vitro. SAHA conjugate 2 was found to cause morphological changes in HeLa cells and to induce selective Histone H3 lysine 9 acetylation. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
