Synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular modeling studies of psammaplin A and its analogs as potent histone deacetylases inhibitors and cytotoxic agents
In this study, a concisesynthetic method of psammaplin A was achieved from 3-bromo-4-hydroxybenzaldahyde and hydantoin through a four-step synthesis via Knoevenagel condensation, hydrolysis, oximation and amidation in 37% overall yield. A collection of novel psammaplin A analogs focused on the variations of substituents at the benzene ring and modifications at the oxime moiety were synthesized. Among
