Investigation of the effect of different linker chemotypes on the inhibition of histone deacetylases (HDACs)

Histone Deacetylases (HDACs) are among the most attractive and interesting targets in anticancer drug discovery. The clinical relevance of HDAC inhibitors (HDACIs) is testified by four FDA-approved drugs for cancer treatment. However, one of the main drawbacks of these drugs resides in the lack of selectivity against the different HDAC isoforms, resulting in severe side effects. Thus, the identification of selective HDACIs represents an exciting challenge for medicinal chemists. HDACIs are composed of a cap group, a linker region, and a metal-binding group interacting with the catalytic zinc ion. While the cap group has been extensively investigated, less information is available about the effect of the linker on isoform selectivity. To this aim, in this work, we explored novel linker chemotypes to direct isoform selectivity. A small library of 25 hydroxamic acids with hitherto unexplored linker chemotypes was prepared. In vitro tests demonstrated that, depending on the linker type, some candidates selectively inhibit HDAC1 over HDAC6 isoform or vice versa. Docking calculations were performed to rationalize the effect of the novel linker chemotypes on biologic activity. Moreover, four compounds were able to increase the levels of acetylation of histone H3 or tubulin. These compounds were also assayed in breast cancer MCF7 cells to test their antiproliferative effect. Three compounds showed a significant reduction of cancer proliferation, representing valuable starting points for further optimization.

Intramolecular cyclization of N-hydroxy-2-phenoxyacetamides and 3-phenoxypropanamides

Abstract: A novel route for the preparation of 2H-1,4- benzoxazin-3(4H)one and 1,5 benzoxazepinones by intramolecular cyclization of N-hydroxy 2-phenoxyacetamide and N-hydroxy -3 phenoxypropanamide using PPA and Lewis acid has been discussed.

The synthesis and evaluation of phenoxyacylhydroxamic acids as potential agents for Helicobacter pylori infections

Two series of ω-phenoxy contained acylhydroxamic acids as novel urease inhibitors were designed and synthesized. Biological activity evaluations revealed that ω-phenoxypropinoylhydroxamic acids were more active than phenoxyacetohydroxamic acids. Out of these compounds, 3-(3,4-dichlorophenoxy)propionylhydroxamic acid c24 showed significant potency against urease in both cell free extract (IC50 = 0.061 ± 0.003 μM) and intact cell (IC50 = 0.89 ± 0.05 μM), being over 450- and 120-fold more potent than the clinically prescribed urease inhibitor AHA, repectively. Non-linear fitting of experimental data (V-[S]) suggested a mixed-type inhibition mechanism and a dual site binding mode of these compounds.

An Environmentally Sustainable Mechanochemical Route to Hydroxamic Acid Derivatives

An operationally simple, and cost efficient conversion of carboxylic acids into hydroxamic acid derivatives via a high-energy mechanochemical activation is presented. This ball milling methodology was applied to a wide variety of carboxylic acids dramatically improving purification issues associated with this class of molecules, which still remain one of the main bottlenecks of classical methodologies. (Figure presented.).

Hydroxamates: Relationships between structure and plasma stability

Hydroxamates are valuable tools for chemical biology as well as interesting leads for medicinal chemistry. Although many hydroxamates display nanomolar activities against metalloproteases, only three hydroxamates have reached the market, among which is the HDAC inhibitor vorinostat. Failures in development are generally attributed to lack of selectivity, toxicity, or poor stability. To help medicinal chemists with respect to plasma stability, we have performed the first and preliminary study on structure-plasma stability for hydroxamates. We define some structural rules to predict or improve the plasma stability in the preclinical stage.
