Psammaplin A (PsA) is a bromotyrosine disulfide dimer with histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition and acts through reduced monomer PsA-SH. We studied the connection of HDAC inhibition, cell growth inhibition, and apoptosis induction of PsA-SH by modifying the -SH group with deletion (6a) or replacement with hydroxamic acid (10b) or benzamide (12g). PsA-SH inhibits HDAC1/2/3 and 6a loses the HDAC inhibition ability. 10b inhibits HDAC1/2/3/6 while 12g shows selective inhibition of HDAC3. PsA-SH and 10b, but neither 6a nor 12g, induce apoptosis in human leukemia HL-60 cells associated with increased acetylation of Histone H3. PsA-SH and 10b inhibit growth of several solid tumor cell lines in vitro and Lewis lung cancer cell growth in vivo. PsA-SH is a simple scaffold for developing selective HDAC inhibitors and induces apoptosis through inhibiting HDAC1/2.

In this study, a concise synthetic method of psammaplin A was achieved from 3-bromo-4-hydroxybenzaldahyde and hydantoin through a four-step synthesis via Knoevenagel condensation, hydrolysis, oximation and amidation in 37% overall yield. A collection of novel psammaplin A analogs focused on the variations of substituents at the benzene ring and modifications at the oxime moiety were synthesized. Among all the synthesized compounds, 5d and 5e showed better HDAC inhibition than psammaplin A and comparable cytotoxicity against four cancer cell lines (PC-3, MCF-7, A549 and HL-60). Molecular docking and dynamics simulation revealed that (i) hydrogen atom of the oxime group interacts with Asp99 of HDAC1 through a water bridged hydrogen bond and (ii) a hydroxyl group is optimal attached on the para-position of benzene, interacting with Glu203 at the entrance to the active site tunnel.

Psammaplin A (11c) is a marine metabolite previously reported to be a potent inhibitor of two classes of epigenetic enzymes: histone deacetylases and DNA methyltransferases. The design and synthesis of a focused library based on the psammaplin A core has been carried out to probe the molecular features of this molecule responsible for its activity. By direct in vitro assay of the free thiol generated upon reduction of the dimeric psammaplin scaffold, we have unambiguously demonstrated that 11c functions as a natural prodrug, with the reduced form being highly potent against HDAC1 in vitro (IC50 0.9 nM). Furthermore, we have shown it to have high isoform selectivity, being 360-fold selective for HDAC1 over HDAC6 and more than 1000-fold less potent against HDAC7 and HDAC8. SAR around our focused library revealed a number of features, most notably the oxime functionality to be important to this selectivity. Many of the compounds show significant cytotoxicity in A549, MCF7, and W138 cells, with the SAR of cytotoxicity correlating to HDAC inhibition. Furthermore, compound treatment causes upregulation of histone acetylation but little effect on tubulin acetylation. Finally, we have found no evidence for 11c functioning as a DNMT inhibitor.

The symmetrical disulfide psammaplin A from the marine sponge Pseudoceratina sp. was synthesized and structurally altered by replacement of one of the α-(hydroxyimino)acyl units by a fluorescent 4-coumarinacetyl moiety. Thus, the first fluorescent analogs of psammaplin A were obtained. Structural variation also covered the substitution pattern of the phenyl ring. Cytotoxicity of psammaplin A against the mouse fibroblast cell line L-929 (IC50 0.42 μg mL-1) was about two-fold higher than that of the fluorescent hybrid compounds, whereas the disulfide containing two 4-coumarinacetyl moieties was inactive. Fluorescence microscopy revealed uptake of the 4-coumarinacetyl-α-(hydroxyimino)acyl hybrids into the cytoplasm leading to fluorescence in close proximity of the nuclear envelope, most likely in the Golgi apparatus. We did not observe strong fluorescence inside the nucleus, where most of the target histone deacetylases are located. We conclude that reduction of the disulfide probably takes place outside the nucleus. The psammaplin-derived thiol exhibited potent activity against histone deacetylase in the low nanomolar range, but diminished cytotoxicity. Antimicrobial activity of the new derivatives was also determined.

A collection of analogues of the dimeric natural product psammaplin A that differ in the substitution on the (halo)tyrosine aryl ring, the oxime and the diamine connection has been synthesized. The effects on cell cycle, induction of differentiation and apoptosis of the natural-product inspired series were measured on the human leukaemia U937 cell line. Epigenetic profiling included induction of p21WAF1, effects on global H3 histone and tubulin acetylation levels as well as in vitro enzymatic assays using HDAC1, DNMT1, DNMT3A, SIRT1 and a peptide domain with p300/CBP HAT activity. Whereas the derivatives of psammaplin A with modifications in the length of the connecting chain, the oxime bond and the disulfide unit showed lower potency, the analogues with changes on the bromotyrosine ring exhibited activities comparable to those of the parent compound in the inhibition of HDAC1 and in the induction of apoptosis. The lack of HDAC1 activity of analogues modified on the disulfide bond suggests that its cleavage must occur in cells to produce the monomeric Zn2+-chelating thiol. This assumption is consistent with the molecular modelling of the complex of psammaplin A thiol with h-HDAC8. Only a weak inhibition of DNMT1, DNMT3A and residual activities with SIRT1 and a p300/CBP HAT peptide were measured for these compounds.

The marine natural product, psammaplin A, was first isolated from the Psammaplinaplysilla sponge in 1987. Since that time, psammaplin A has shown a wide spectrum of biological activities that include enzyme inhibitory activities resulting in antibacterial and antitumor effects. An improved synthesis of psammaplin A has been developed, making the compound more easily accessible for further biological evaluations. In this context, we find that psammaplin A is an effective DNA methyltransferase inhibitor in vitro but fails to alter genomic DNA methylation levels in treated human cancer cells.
