The present invention relates to ketone derivatives that are inhibitors of histone deacetylase (HDAC). The compounds of the present invention are useful for treating cellular proliferative diseases, including cancer. Further, the compounds of the present invention are useful for treating neurodegenerative diseases, schizophrenia and stroke among other diseases.
Histonedeacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors offer a promising strategy for cancer therapy, and the first generation HDAC inhibitors are currently in the clinic. Entirely novel ketone HDAC inhibitors have been developed from the cyclic tetrapeptide apicidin. These compounds show class I subtype selectivity and levels of cellular activity comparable to clinical candidates. A representative example has demonstrated
