Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common haematological malignancy. Almost all patients with MM eventually relapse, and most recommended treatment protocols for the patients with relapsed refractory MM comprise a combination of drugs with different mechanisms of action. Therefore novel drugs are in urgent need in clinic. Bcl-2 inhibitors and HDAC inhibitors were proved their anti-MM effect in clinic or under clinical trials, and they were further discovered to have synergistic interactions. In this study, a series of Bcl-2/HDAC dual-target inhibitors were designed and synthesized. Among them, compounds 7e-7g showed good inhibitory activities against HDAC6 and high binding affinities to Bcl-2 protein simultaneously. They also displayed good growth inhibitory activities against human MM cell line RPMI-8226, which proved their potential value for the treatment of multiple myeloma.
