Intrigued by the role of protein acetylation in hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication, we tested known histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors and a focused library of structurally simple hydroxamic acids for inhibition of a HCV subgenomic replicon. While known HDAC inhibitors with varied inhibitory profiles proved to be either relatively toxic or ineffective, structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies on cinnamic hydroxamic acid and benzo[b]thiophen-2-hydroxamic acid gave rise to compounds 22 and 53, which showed potent and selective anti-HCV activity and therefore are promising starting points for further structural optimization and mechanistic studies.

(Figure Presented) Transglutaminases (TGases) catalyze the intermolecular cross-linking of certain proteins and tissue TGases (TG2) are involved in diverse biological processes. Unregulated, high TGase activities have been implicated in several physiological disorders, but few reversible inhibitors of TG2 have been reported. Herein, we report the synthesis of a series of novel trans-cinammoyl derivatives, discovered to be potent inhibitors of guinea pig liver transglutaminase. The most effective inhibitors evaluated can be sorted into two subclasses: substituted cinnamoyl benzotriazolyl amides and the 3-(substituted cinnamoyl)pyridines, referred to more commonly as azachalcones. Kinetic evaluation of both of these subclasses revealed that they display reversible inhibition and are competitive with acyl donor TGase substrates at IC50 values as low as 18 μM. An analysis of structure - activity relationships within these series of inhibitors permitted the identification of potentially important binding interactions. Further testing of some of the most potent inhibitors demonstrated their selectivity for TG2 and their potential for further development.
The Michael reaction of N-cinnamoylazoles with phenols. A simple synthesis of 4-arylchroman-2-ones and 1-arylbenzo[f]chroman-3-ones

4-Arylchroman-2-ones 3 and 1-arylbenzo[f]chroman-3-ones 6 have been prepared in moderate to good yields by reaction of dihydric or trihydric phenols with p-substituted N-cinnamoylazoles in dichloromethane under reflux in the presence of DBU.
