Aspirin is one of the oldest drugs for the treatment of inflammation, fever, and pain. It is reported to covalently modify COX-2 enzyme by acetylating a serine amino acid residue. By virtue of aspirin’s acetylating potential, we for the first time developed novel acetyl-donating HDAC inhibitors. In this study, we report the design, synthesis, in silico docking study, and biological evaluation of acetyl-donating HDAC inhibitors. The exposure of MDA-MB-231 cells with compound 4c significantly promotes the acetylation of α-tubulin and histone H3, which are substrates of HDAC6 and HDAC1, respectively. In silico docking simulation also indicates that compound 4c tightly binds to the deep substrate-binding pocket of HDAC6 by coordinating the active zinc ion in a bidentate manner and forming hydrogen bond interactions with Ser531 and His573 amino acid residues. In particular, compound 4c (GI50 = 147?μM) affords the significant enhancement of anti-proliferative effect on MDA-MB-231 cells, compared with its parent compound 2c (GI50 > 1000?μM) and acetyl-donating group deficient compound 6 (GI50 = 554?μM). Overall, compound 4c presents a novel strategy for developing acetyl-donating HDAC inhibitors.

Thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) is critical for cellular redox regulation and is involved in tumor proliferation, apoptosis and metastasis. Its C-terminal redox-active center contains a cysteine (Cys497) and a unique selenocysteine (Sec498), which are exposed to solvent and easily accessible. Thus, it is becoming an important target for anticancer drugs. Selective inhibition of TrxR by 1,2-(bis-1,2-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one)ethane (4a) prevents proliferation of several cancer cell lines both in vivo and in vitro. Using the structure of 4a as a starting point, a series of novel bis-1,2-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-ones was designed, prepared and tested to explore the structure-activity relationships (SARs) for this class of inhibitor and to improve their potency. Notably, 1,2-(5,5′-dimethoxybis(1,2-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one))ethane (12) was found to be more potent than 4a in both in vitro and in vivo evaluation. Its binding sites were confirmed by biotin-conjugated iodoacetamide assay and a SAR model was generated to guide further structural modification.
