In order to find novel non-hydroxamate histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors, we synthesized several suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA)-based compounds designed on the basis of the catalytic mechanism of HDACs. Among these compounds, mercaptoacetamide 5b was found to be as potent as SAHA. Kinetic enzyme assays and molecular modeling are also reported. In order to find novel non-hydroxamate histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors, we synthesized several suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA)-based compounds designed on the basis of the catalytic mechanism of HDACs. Among these compounds, 5b was found to be as potent as SAHA. Kinetic enzyme assays and molecular modeling suggested that the mercaptoacetamide moiety of 5b interacts with the zinc in the active site of HDACs and removes a water molecule from the reactive site of the deacetylation.

In order to find novel non-hydroxamate histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors, a series of compounds modeled after suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) were designed and synthesized as (i) substrate (acetyl lysine) analogues (compounds 3-7), (ii) analogu

To estimate the steric distance between the bitter taste determinant sites in peptides, some cyclic dipeptides, amino acid anilides, amino acid cyclohexylamides, and benzoyl amino acids were synthesized and their tastes were evaluated.The diketopiperazine ring of cyclic dipeptides acted as a bitter taste determinant site due to its hydrophobicity.The steric distance between 2 sites was estimated as 4.1 Angstroem from the molecule models of cyclic dipeptides composed of typical amino acids in the bitter peptides.Due to the hypothesis of two bitter taste determinant sites, which bind with the bitter taste receptor via a "binding unit" and a "stimulating unit," a mechanism for the bitterness in peptides was postulated.
