A series of SAHA cap derivatives was designed and prepared in good-to-excellent yields that varied from 49% to 95%. These derivatives were evaluated for their antiproliferative activity in several human cancer cell lines. Antiproliferative activity was observed for concentrations varying from 0.12 to > 100 mu M, and a molecular modeling approach of selected SAHA derivatives, based on available structural information of human HDAC8 in complex with SAHA, was performed. Strikingly, two compounds displayed up to 10-fold improved antileukemic activity with respect to SAHA; however, these compounds displayed antiproliferative activity similar to SAHA when assayed against solid tumor-derived cell lines. A 10-fold improvement in the leukemic vs peripheral blood mononuclear cell therapeutic ratio, with no evident in vivo toxicity toward blood cells, was also observed. The herein-described compounds and method of synthesis will provide invaluable tools to investigate the molecular mechanism responsible for the reported selectively improved antileukemic activity.

There is provided a compound which is a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable ester, amide, solvate or salt thereof, for use in: (I) treating or preventing a pathological condition associated with excess fibrin deposition and/or thrombus formation; and/or (II) potentiating the degradation of fibrin deposits and preventing such deposits associated with pathological conditions or which may lead to such conditions, wherein the HDAC inhibitor, and the dose thereof, is as described in the description. There is also provided valproic acid, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for use in improving or normalizing endogenous fibrinolysis impaired by local or systemic inflammation.
Racemization free longer N-terminal peptide hydroxamate synthesis on solid support using ethyl 2-(tert-butoxycarbonyloxyimino)-2-cyanoacetate
protocol for the synthesis of peptide hydroxamicacids directly from carboxylic/amino acids by ethyl 2-(tert-butoxycarbonyloxyimino)-2-cyanoacetate in the presence of DIPEA/DMAP at room temperature is described. The compatibility of this method with Fmoc based solidphase peptide synthesis (SPPS) is also demonstrated by synthesizing three relatively large N-terminal peptide hydroxamicacids on resin. Also
