In this work we describe the synthesis of potent and selective quinolone-based histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) inhibitors. The quinolone moiety has been exploited as an innovative bioactive cap-group for HDAC6 inhibition; its synthesis was achieved by applying a multicomponent reaction. The optimization of potency and selectivity of these products was performed by employing computational studies which led to the discovery of the diethylaminomethyl derivatives 7g and 7k as the most promising hit molecules. These compounds were investigated in cellular studies to evaluate their anticancer effect against colon (HCT-116) and histiocytic lymphoma (U9347) cancer cells, showing good to excellent potency, leading to tumor cell death by apoptosis induction. The small molecules 7a, 7g and 7k were able to strongly inhibit the cytoplasmic and slightly the nuclear HDAC enzymes, increasing the acetylation of tubulin and of the lysine 9 and 14 of histone 3, respectively. Compound 7g was also able to increase Hsp90 acetylation levels in HCT-116 cells, thus further supporting its HDAC6 inhibitory profile. Cytotoxicity and mutagenicity assays of these molecules showed a safe profile; moreover, the HPLC analysis of compound 7k revealed good solubility and stability profile.

A series of fentanyl analogues modified at the phenyl group of the phenethyl with alkyl and/or hydroxyl and alkoxy, and the phenyl group in the anilido moiety replaced with benzyl or substituted benzyl, were synthesized. The in vitro opioid receptor functional activity of these compounds was evaluated by assessment of their ability to modulate forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation and by their ability to induce β-arrestin2 recruitment. Compound 12 is a potent μ-opioid (MOP) receptor agonist, a potent κ-opioid (KOP) receptor antagonist with weak β-arrestin2 recruitment activity. Compounds 10 and 11 are potent MOP receptor agonists with weak δ-opioid (DOP) receptor antagonist activity and moderate KOP receptor antagonist activity as well as weak β-arrestin2 recruitment activity at the MOP receptor. These compounds are promising leads for discovery of potent opioid analgesics with reduced side effects relative to clinically available strong opioid analgesics.
