The HDAC inhibitor 4-tert-butyl-N-(4-(hydroxycarbamoyl)phenyl)benzamide (AES-350, 51) was identified as a promising preclinical candidate for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), an aggressive malignancy with a meagre 24% 5-year survival rate. Through screening of low-molecular-weight analogues derived from the previously discovered novel HDAC inhibitor, AES-135, compound 51 demonstrated greater HDAC isoform selectivity, higher cytotoxicity in MV4-11 cells, an improved therapeutic window, and more efficient absorption through cellular and lipid membranes. Compound 51 also demonstrated improved oral bioavailability compared to SAHA in mouse models. A broad spectrum of experiments, including FACS, ELISA, and Western blotting, were performed to support our hypothesis that 51 dose-dependently triggers apoptosis in AML cells through HDAC inhibition.

Dysregulated Histone Deacetylase (HDAC) activity across multiple human pathologies have highlighted this family of epigenetic enzymes as critical druggable targets, amenable to small molecule intervention. While efficacious, current approaches using non-selective HDAC inhibitors (HDACi) have been shown to cause a range of undesirable clinical toxicities. To circumvent this, recent efforts have focused on the design of highly selective HDACi as a novel therapeutic strategy. Beyond roles in regulating transcription, the unique HDAC6 (with two catalytic domains) regulates the deacetylation of α-tubulin; promoting growth factor-controlled cell motility, cell division, and metastatic hallmarks. Recent studies have linked aberrant HDAC6 function in various hematological cancers including acute myeloid leukaemia and multiple myeloma. Herein, we report the discovery, in vitro characterization, and biological evaluation of PTG-0861 (JG-265), a novel HDAC6-selective inhibitor with strong isozyme-selectivity (～36× ) and low nanomolar potency (IC50 = 5.92 nM) against HDAC6. This selectivity profile was rationalized via in silico docking studies and also observed in cellulo through cellular target engagement. Moreover, PTG-0861 achieved relevant potency against several blood cancer cell lines (e.g. MV4-11, MM1S), whilst showing limited cytotoxicity against non-malignant cells (e.g. NHF, HUVEC) and CD-1 mice. In examining compound stability and cellular permeability, PTG-0861 revealed a promising in vitro pharmacokinetic (PK) profile. Altogether, in this study we identified a novel and potent HDAC6-selective inhibitor (～4× more selective than current clinical standards – citarinostat, ricolinostat), which achieves cellular target engagement, efficacy in hematological cancer cells with a promising safety profile and in vitro PK.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive, incurable cancer with a 20% 1 year survival rate. While standard-of-care therapy can prolong life in a small fraction of cases, PDAC is inherently resistant to current treatments, and novel therapies are urgently required. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors are effective in killing pancreatic cancer cells in in vitro PDAC studies, and although there are a few clinical studies investigating combination therapy including HDAC inhibitors, no HDAC drug or combination therapy with an HDAC drug has been approved for the treatment of PDAC. We developed an inhibitor of HDACs, AES-135, that exhibits nanomolar inhibitory activity against HDAC3, HDAC6, and HDAC11 in biochemical assays. In a three-dimensional coculture model, AES-135 kills low-passage patient-derived tumor spheroids selectively over surrounding cancer-associated fibroblasts and has excellent pharmacokinetic properties in vivo. In an orthotopic murine model of pancreatic cancer, AES-135 prolongs survival significantly, therefore representing a candidate for further preclinical testing.

Palladium nanoparticles supported on 5 %-nitrogen-doped, herringbone-type carbon nanofibers (Pd/N-CNF-H), which are prepared by thermally decomposing [Pd2(dba)3?CHCl3] (dba=dibenzylideneacetone) in toluene in the presence of N-CNF-H, were found to be an efficient catalyst for the chemoselective hydrogenation of alkenyl and nitro moieties in benzyl-protected alcohols and carboxylic acid derivatives with high turnover frequencies: the hydrogenation reactions of these functional groups proceeded smoothly even at ambient temperature under atmospheric H2 pressure, and the benzyl protecting groups in the molecules remained intact. Moreover, the recovered Pd/N-CNF-H catalyst could be reused without loss of its catalytic activity or chemoselectivity. The Pd/N-CNF-H catalyst also acted as an effective hydrogenation catalyst for the reduction of aromatic ketones to the corresponding benzyl alcohol derivatives with good to high product selectivity.

Libraries of nonpurified resorcinol amide derivatives were screened by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) to determine the binding dissociation constant (off-rate, kd) for compounds binding to the pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDHK) enzyme. Parallel off-rate measurements against HSP90 and application of structure-based drug design enabled rapid hit to lead progression in a program to identify pan-isoform ATP-competitive inhibitors of PDHK. Lead optimization identified selective sub-100-nM inhibitors of the enzyme which significantly reduced phosphorylation of the E1α subunit in the PC3 cancer cell line in vitro.

An alkyl-radical loss and an alkene loss are two competitive fragmentation pathways that deprotonated aminobenzoate esters undergo upon activation under mass spectrometric conditions. For the meta and para isomers, the alkyl-radical loss by a homolytic cleavage of the alkyl-oxygen bond of the ester moiety is the predominant fragmentation pathway, while the contribution from the alkene elimination by a heterolytic pathway is less significant. In contrast, owing to a pronounced charge-mediated ortho effect, the alkene loss becomes the predominant pathway for the ortho isomers of ethyl and higher esters. Results from isotope-labeled compounds confirmed that the alkene loss proceeds by a specific γ-hydrogen transfer mechanism that resembles the McLafferty rearrangement for radical cations. Even for the para compounds, if the alkoxide moiety bears structural motifs required for the elimination of a more stable alkene molecule, the heterolytic pathway becomes the predominant pathway. For example, in the spectrum of deprotonated 2-phenylethyl 4-aminobenzoate, m/z 136 peak is the base peak because the alkene eliminated is styrene. Owing to the fact that all deprotonated aminobenzoate esters, irrespective of the size of the alkoxy group, upon activation fragment to form an m/z 135 ion, aminobenzoate esters in mixtures can be quantified by precursor ion discovery mass spectrometric experiments.

The para-aminobenzoic acid-containing peptide albicidin is a pathogenicity factor synthesized by Xanthomonas albilineans in infections of sugar cane. Albicidin is a nanomolar inhibitor of the bacterial DNA gyrase with a strong activity against various Gram-negative bacteria. The bacterium Pantoea dispersa expresses the hydrolase AlbD, conferring natural resistance against albicidin. We show that AlbD is a novel type of endopeptidase that catalyzes the cleavage of albicidin at a peptide backbone amide bond, thus abolishing its antimicrobial activity. Additionally, we determined the minimal cleavage motif of AlbD with substrates derived by chemical synthesis. Our results clearly identify AlbD as a unique endopeptidase that is the first member of a new subfamily of peptidases. Our findings provide the molecular basis for a natural detoxification mechanism, potentially rendering a new tool in biological chemistry approaches.

A heterogeneous palladium catalyst supported on a ceramic (5 % Pd/ceramic) was developed. The catalyst exhibited a specific chemoselectivity for hydrogenation that has never been achieved by other palladium-catalyzed methods. Either aliphatic or aromatic N-Cbz groups could be deprotected to the corresponding free-amines, while the hydrogenolysis of benzyl esters and ethers did not proceed. Furthermore, aryl chlorides and epoxides were tolerant under the Pd/ceramic-catalyzed hydrogenation conditions. 5 % Pd/ceramic could be reused without any loss of catalyst activity, as no palladium leaching was detected in the reaction media.
