Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of JAHAs: Ferrocene-Based Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: N(1)-Hydroxy-N(8)-ferrocenyloctanediamide, JAHA (7), an organometallic analogue of SAHA containing a ferrocenyl group as a phenyl bioisostere, displays nanomolar inhibition of class I HDACs, excellent selectivity over class IIa HDACs, and anticancer action in intact cells (IC(50) = 2.4 μM, MCF7 cell line). Molecular docking studies of 7 in HDAC8 (a,b) suggested that the ferrocenyl moiety in 7 can overlap with the aryl cap of SAHA and should display similar HDAC inhibition, which was borne out in an in vitro assay (IC(50) values against HDAC8 (μM, SD in parentheses): SAHA, 1.41 (0.15); 7, 1.36 (0.16). Thereafter, a small library of related JAHA analogues has been synthesized, and preliminary SAR studies are presented. IC(50) values as low as 90 pM toward HDAC6 (class IIb) have been determined, highlighting the excellent potential of JAHAs as bioinorganic probes.

Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Tetrahydroisoquinoline-Based Histone Deacetylase 8 Selective Inhibitors.

Project description:Histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) is a promising drug target for multiple therapeutic applications. Here, we describe the modeling, design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of a novel series of C1-substituted tetrahydroisoquinoline (TIQ)-based HDAC8 inhibitors. Minimization of entropic loss upon ligand binding and use of the unique HDAC8 "open" conformation of the binding site yielded a successful strategy for improvement of both HDAC8 potency and selectivity. The TIQ-based 3g and 3n exhibited the highest 82 and 55 nM HDAC8 potency and 330- and 135-fold selectivity over HDAC1, respectively. Selectivity over other class I isoforms was comparable or better, whereas inhibition of HDAC6, a class II HDAC isoform, was below 50% at 10 ?M. The cytotoxicity of 3g and 3n was evaluated in neuroblastoma cell lines, and 3n displayed concentration-dependent cytotoxicity similar to or better than that of PCI-34051. The selectivity of 3g and 3n was confirmed in SH-SY5Y cells as both did not increase the acetylation of histone H3 and ?-tubulin. Discovery of the novel TIQ chemotype paves the way for the development of HDAC8 selective inhibitors for therapeutic applications.

Design, Synthesis, Molecular Modeling, and Biological Evaluation of Novel Amine-based Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors.

Project description:Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are promising drug targets for a variety of therapeutic applications. Herein we describe the design, synthesis, biological evaluation in cellular models of cancer, and preliminary drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic studies (DMPK) of a series of secondary and tertiary N-substituted 7-aminoheptanohydroxamic acid-based HDAC inhibitors. Introduction of an amino group with one or two surface binding groups (SBGs) yielded a successful strategy to develop novel and potent HDAC inhibitors. The secondary amines were found to be generally more potent than the corresponding tertiary amines. Docking studies suggested that the SBGs of tertiary amines cannot be favorably accommodated at the gorge region of the binding site. The secondary amines with naphthalen-2-ylmethyl, 5-phenylthiophen-2-ylmethyl, and 1H-indol-2-ylmethyl (2?j) substituents exhibited the highest potency against class?I HDACs: HDAC1 IC50 39-61?nm, HDAC2 IC50 260-690?nm, HDAC3 IC50 25-68?nm, and HDAC8 IC50 320-620?nm. The cytotoxicity of a representative set of secondary and tertiary N-substituted 7-aminoheptanoic acid hydroxyamide-based inhibitors against HT-29, SH-SY5Y, and MCF-7 cancer cells correlated with their inhibition of HDAC1, 2, and 3 and was found to be similar to or better than that of suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA). Compounds in this series increased the acetylation of histones H3 and H4 in a time-dependent manner. DMPK studies indicated that secondary amine 2?j is metabolically stable and has plasma and brain concentrations >23- and >1.6-fold higher than the IC50 value for class?I HDACs, respectively. Overall, the secondary and tertiary N-substituted 7-aminoheptanoic acid hydroxyamide-based inhibitors exhibit excellent lead- and drug-like properties and therapeutic capacity for cancer applications.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of histone deacetylase inhibitors that are based on FR235222: a cyclic tetrapeptide scaffold.

Project description:We outline the synthesis of six novel derivatives that are based on a recently discovered HDAC inhibitor FR235222. Our work is the first report utilizing a novel binding element, guanidine, as metal coordinators in HDAC inhibitors. Further, we demonstrate that these compounds show cytotoxicity that parallels their ability to inhibit deacetylase activity, and that the most potent compounds maintain an L-Phe at position 1, and a D-Pro at position 4. Both inhibition of HDAC activity and cytotoxicity against the pancreatic cancer cell line BxPC3 are exhibited by these compounds, establishing that a guanidine unit can be utilized successfully to inhibit HDAC activity.

Novel 4-Oxoquinazoline-Based <i>N</i>-Hydroxypropenamides as Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors: Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation.

Project description:Two series of novel 4-oxoquinazoline-based N-hydroxypropenamides (9a-m and 10a-m) were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their inhibitory and cytotoxicity activities against histone deacetylase (HDAC). The compounds showed good to potent HDAC inhibitory activity and cytotoxicity against three human cancer cell lines (SW620, colon; PC-3, prostate; NCI-H23, lung cancer). In this series, compounds with the N-hydroxypropenamide functionality impeded at position 7 on the 4-oxoquinazoline skeleton (10a-m) were generally more potent than compounds with the N-hydroxypropenamide moiety at position 6 (9a-m). Also, the N 3-benzyl-substituted derivatives (9h-m, 10h-m) exhibited stronger bioactivity than the N 3-alkyl-substituted ones (9a-e, 10a-e). Two compounds 10l and 10m were the most potent ones. Their HDAC inhibitory activity (IC50 values, 0.041-0.044 ?M) and cytotoxicity (IC50 values, 0.671-1.211 ?M) were approximately 2- to 3-fold more potent than suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA). Some compounds showed up to 10-fold more potent HDAC6 inhibition compared to their inhibitory activity in total HDAC extract assay. Analysis of selected compounds 10l and 10m revealed that these compounds strongly induced both early and late apoptosis and arrested SW620 cells at the G2/M phase. Docking studies were carried out on the HDAC6 isoform for series 10a-m and revealed some important features contributing to the inhibitory activity of synthesized compounds.

Design, synthesis, biological evaluation, and structural characterization of potent histone deacetylase inhibitors based on cyclic alpha/beta-tetrapeptide architectures.

Project description:Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are a family of enzymes found in bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals that profoundly affect cellular function by catalyzing the removal of acetyl groups from -N-acetylated lysine residues of various protein substrates including histones, transcription factors, alpha-tubulin, and nuclear importers. Although the precise roles of HDAC isoforms in cellular function are not yet completely understood, inhibition of HDAC activity has emerged as a promising approach for reversing the aberrant epigenetic states associated with cancer and other chronic diseases. Potent new isoform-selective HDAC inhibitors would therefore help expand our understanding of the HDAC enzymes and represent attractive lead compounds for drug design, especially if combined with high-resolution structural analyses of such inhibitors to shed light on the three-dimensional pharmacophoric features necessary for the future design of more potent and selective compounds. Here we present structural and functional analyses of a series of beta-amino-acid-containing HDAC inhibitors inspired by cyclic tetrapeptide natural products. To survey a diverse ensemble of pharmacophoric configurations, we systematically varied the position of the beta-amino acid, amino acid chirality, functionalization of the Zn(2+)-coordinating amino acid side chain, and alkylation of the backbone amide nitrogen atoms around the macrocycle. In many cases, the compounds were a single conformation in solution and exhibited potent activities against a number of HDAC isoforms as well as effective antiproliferative and cytotoxic activities against human tumor cells. High-resolution NMR solution structures were determined for a selection of the inhibitors, providing a useful means of correlating detailed structural information with potency. The structure-based approach described here is expected to furnish valuable insights toward the future design of more selective HDAC inhibitors.

Design, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel Coumarin-Based Hydroxamate Derivatives as Histone Deacetylase (Hdac) Inhibitors with Antitumor Activities.

Project description:A series of novel coumarin-based hydroxamate derivatives were designed and synthesized as histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis). Selective compounds showed a potent HDAC inhibition with nM IC50 values, with the best compound (10e) being nearly 90 times more active than vorinostat (SAHA) against HDAC1. Compounds 10e and 11d also increased the levels of acetylated histone H3 and H4, which is consistent with their strong HDAC inhibition. In addition, 10e and 11d displayed a higher potency toward human A549 and Hela cancer cell lines compared with SAHA. Moreover, 10e and 11d significantly arrested A549 cells at the G2/M phase and enhanced apoptosis. Molecular docking studies revealed the possible mode of interaction of compounds 10e and 12a with HDAC1. Our findings suggest that these novel coumarin-based HDAC inhibitors provide a promising scaffold for the development of new potential cancer chemotherapies.

Synthesis and Biological Investigation of Phenothiazine-Based Benzhydroxamic Acids as Selective Histone Deacetylase 6 Inhibitors.

Project description:The phenothiazine system was identified as a favorable cap group for potent and selective histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) inhibitors. Here, we report the preparation and systematic variation of phenothiazines and their analogues containing a benzhydroxamic acid moiety as the zinc-binding group. We evaluated their ability to selectively inhibit HDAC6 by a recombinant HDAC enzyme assay, by determining the protein acetylation levels in cells by western blotting (tubulin vs histone acetylation), and by assessing their effects on various cancer cell lines. Structure-activity relationship studies revealed that incorporation of a nitrogen atom into the phenothiazine framework results in increased potency and selectivity for HDAC6 (more than 500-fold selectivity relative to the inhibition of HDAC1, HDAC4, and HDAC8), as rationalized by molecular modeling and docking studies. The binding mode was confirmed by co-crystallization of the potent azaphenothiazine inhibitor with catalytic domain 2 from Danio rerio HDAC6.

Design, synthesis and evaluation of belinostat analogs as histone deacetylase inhibitors.

Project description:Aim: Histone deacetylase (HDAC) is an attractive target for antitumor therapy. Therefore, the development of novel HDAC inhibitors is warranted. Materials & methods: A series of HDAC inhibitors based on N-hydroxycinnamamide fragment was designed as the clinically used belinostat analog using amide as the connecting unit. All target compounds were evaluated for their in vitro HDAC inhibitory activities and some selected compounds were tested for their antiproliferative activities. Conclusion: Among them, compound 7e showed an IC50 value of 11.5 nM in inhibiting the HDAC in a pan-HDAC assay, being the most active compound of the series.

Design, synthesis, docking, and biological evaluation of novel diazide-containing isoxazole- and pyrazole-based histone deacetylase probes.

Project description:The design, synthesis, docking, and biological evaluation of novel potent HDAC3 and HDAC8 isoxazole- and pyrazole-based diazide probes suitable for binding ensemble profiling with photoaffinity labeling (BEProFL) experiments in cells is described. Both the isoxazole- and pyrazole-based probes exhibit low nanomolar inhibitory activity against HDAC3 and HDAC8, respectively. The pyrazole-based probe 3f appears to be one of the most active HDAC8 inhibitors reported in the literature with an IC(50) of 17 nM. Our docking studies suggest that unlike the isoxazole-based ligands the pyrazole-based ligands are flexible enough to occupy the second binding site of HDAC8. Probes/inhibitors 2b, 3a, 3c, and 3f exerted the antiproliferative and neuroprotective activities at micromolar concentrations through inhibition of nuclear HDACs, indicating that they are cell permeable and the presence of an azide or a diazide group does not interfere with the neuroprotection properties, or enhance cellular cytotoxicity, or affect cell permeability.

Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation of Selective Histone Deacetylase 6 Inhibitors in Melanoma Models.

Project description:Only a handful of therapies offer significant improvement in the overall survival in cases of melanoma, a cancer whose incidence has continued to rise in the past 30 years. In our effort to identify potent and isoform-selective histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors as a therapeutic approach to melanoma, a series of new HDAC6 inhibitors based on the nexturastat A scaffold were prepared. The new analogues 4d, 4e, and 7b bearing added hydrophilic substituents, so as to establish additional hydrogen bonding on the rim of the HDAC6 catalytic pocket, exhibit improved potency against HDAC6 and retain selectivity over HDAC1. Compound 4d exhibits antiproliferative effects on several types of melanoma and lymphoma cells. Further studies indicates that 4d selectively increases acetylated tubulin levels in vitro and elicits an immune response through down-regulating cytokine IL-10. A preliminary in vivo efficacy study indicates that 4d possesses improved capability to inhibit melanoma tumor growth and that this effect is based on the regulation of inflammatory and immune responses.
