Hairpin polyamides are high-affinity, sequence selective DNA binders. The use of a safety-catch linker for the solid phase synthesis of hairpin polyamides allows for easy preparation of derivatives ready for chemoselective ligation with unprotected peptides. Examples of ligations reported include thioether bond formation and thioester-mediated amide bond formation ('Native Chemical Ligation').

We compare the ability of two structurally different classes of epigenetic modulators, namely, histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors containing either a hydroxamate or a mercaptoacetamide as the zinc binding group, to protect cortical neurons in culture from oxidative stress-induced death. This study reveals that some of the mercaptoacetamide-based HDAC inhibitors are fully protective, whereas the hydroxamates show toxicity at higher concentrations. Our present results appear to be consistent with the possibility that the mercaptoacetamide-based HDAC inhibitors interact with a different subset of the HDAC isozymes [less activity at HDAC1 and 2 correlates with less inhibitor toxicity], or alternatively, are interacting selectively with only the cytoplasmic HDACs that are crucial for protection from oxidative stress.

A series of mercaptoacetamides were designed and synthesized as novel histone deacetylase inhibitors with the aid of modeling. Their ability to inhibit HDAC activity and their effects on cancer cell growth were investigated. Some compounds exhibit better
