- Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of largazole derivatives: Alteration of the zinc-binding domain
-
A new series of largazole analogues in which the side chain was replaced with disulfide groups were synthesized, and their biological activities were evaluated. Compound 8 bearing an octyl moiety showed much better selectivity for HDAC1 over HDAC7 than largazole (320-fold). Structure-activity relationships suggested that the length in the disulfide chain of largazole is important for the selectivity toward HDAC1 over HDAC7.

- Radical-Mediated Thiol-Ene Strategy: Photoactivation of Thiol-Containing Drugs in Cancer Cells
-
Photoactivated drugs provide an opportunity to improve efficacy alongside reducing side-effects in the treatment of severe diseases such as cancer. Described herein is a photoactivation decaging method of isobutylene-caged thiols through a UV-initiated thiol-ene reaction. The method was demonstrated with an isobutylene-caged cysteine, cyclic disulfide-peptide, and thiol-containing drug, all of which were rapidly and efficiently released under mild UV irradiation in the presence of thiol sources and a photoinitiator. Importantly, it is shown that the activity of histone deacetylase inhibitor largazole can be switched off when stapled, but selectively switched on within cancer cells when irradiated with non-phototoxic light.

- Modular synthesis and biological activity of pyridyl-based analogs of the potent Class i Histone Deacetylase Inhibitor Largazole
-
The formation of a series of analogs containing a pyridine moiety in place of the natural thiazole heterocycle, based on the potent, naturally occurring HDAC inhibitor Largazole has been accomplished. The synthetic strategy was designed modularly to access multiple inhibitors with different aryl functionalities containing both the natural depsipeptide and peptide isostere variant of the macrocycle. The cytotoxicity and biochemical activity of the library of HDAC inhibitors is described herein.

- Macrolactamization versus macrolactonization: Total synthesis of FK228, the depsipeptide histone deacetylase inhibitor
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) The cyclic depsipeptide FK228 is the only natural product histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor that has advanced to clinical trials as an anticancer agent. While currently obtained by fermentation, total synthesis is an attractive alternative that will facilitate the preparation of unnatural analogues. The previous total syntheses of FK228 featured macrocylization by ester bond formation from a seco-hydroxy acid. Such routes are operationally jeopardized by the steric hindrance of the carboxylic acid and the sensitivity of the allylic alcohol toward elimination. We report a strategically different approach whereby the ester bond is formed intermolecularly at an early stage and macrocyclization is efficiently achieved by amide bond formation.
