Histone Deacetylases (HDACs) are among the most attractive and interesting targets in anticancer drug discovery. The clinical relevance of HDAC inhibitors (HDACIs) is testified by four FDA-approved drugs for cancer treatment. However, one of the main drawbacks of these drugs resides in the lack of selectivity against the different HDAC isoforms, resulting in severe side effects. Thus, the identification of selective HDACIs represents an exciting challenge for medicinal chemists. HDACIs are composed of a cap group, a linker region, and a metal-binding group interacting with the catalytic zinc ion. While the cap group has been extensively investigated, less information is available about the effect of the linker on isoform selectivity. To this aim, in this work, we explored novel linker chemotypes to direct isoform selectivity. A small library of 25 hydroxamic acids with hitherto unexplored linker chemotypes was prepared. In vitro tests demonstrated that, depending on the linker type, some candidates selectively inhibit HDAC1 over HDAC6 isoform or vice versa. Docking calculations were performed to rationalize the effect of the novel linker chemotypes on biologic activity. Moreover, four compounds were able to increase the levels of acetylation of histone H3 or tubulin. These compounds were also assayed in breast cancer MCF7 cells to test their antiproliferative effect. Three compounds showed a significant reduction of cancer proliferation, representing valuable starting points for further optimization.

A series of benzoxazole/benzothiazole-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b][1,4]dioxine derivatives (5a-5d and 8a-8j) was synthesized. Compounds were evaluated for binding affinities at the 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors. Antidepressant activities of the compounds were screened using the forced swimming test (FST) and the tail suspension test (TST). The results indicated that the compounds exhibited high affinities for the 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors and showed a marked antidepressant-like activity. Compound 8g exhibited high affinities for the 5-HT1A (Ki = 17 nM) and 5-HT2A (Ki = 0.71 nM) receptors; it also produced a decrease of the immobility time and exhibited potent antidepressant-like effects in the FST and TST in mice.

The synthesis of both enantiomers of 1,4-benzodioxan-2-carboxylic acid 1, a key synthetic intermediate for the therapeutic agents piperoxan, prosympal, dibozane, and doxazosin was achieved with good yields and high enantioselectivities via the Arthrobacter sp. lipase catalyzed kinetic resolution of ester (±)-17a. The influence of the co-solvents and the immobilization of the lipase upon kinetic resolution demonstrated that immobilized whole cells, in the presence of n-butanol as a co-solvent, resulted in the optimal resolution of the substrate (ee ～99%, E = 535) at 258 mmol (50 g/L) substrate concentration.
Synthesis and biological activity of novel carbacyclins having bicyclic substituents on the ω-chain

, p. 1988 - 1996 (2007/10/02)
A number of carbacyclins having bicyclic substituents on the ω-chain have been synthesized and tested for antiplatelet aggregation activity in vitro (against collagen-induced aggregation of rat platelet), for reduction of systemic blood pressure in vivo (ability to reduce the blood pressure in anesthetized rat by iv injection), and for cytoprotective activity (protection against ethanol-induced rat gastric lesion). The most effective compound for each activity was [3aS-[2E,3aα,4α(3R),5β,6aα]]-5-[hexahydro-5-hydroxy-4-[3-hydroxy-3-(2- indanyl)-1-propynyl]-2(1H)-pentalenylidene]pentanoic acid (compound 11a), while some 1,4-benzodioxan analogues had selectivity for organ-protective activity, and indan analogues showed selectivity in their antiaggregation activity.
