【 摘 要 】

Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition has recently emerged as a novel therapy for cancer treatment. However, currently approved histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) are pan-inhibitors thus inhibiting all 11 zinc dependent HDAC isoforms including those not involved in tumorigenesis. These inhibitors are also associated with various side effects including a potentially fatal cardiotoxicity. To address these issues, isoform selective HDACi were designed and synthesized. The use of 3-hydroxy-pyridin-2-thione (3HPT) as zinc chelation group resulted in small molecules devoid of HDAC1 inhibition but active against HDAC6 and/or 8. Selected 3HPT containing HDACi displayed anticancer activity against various cancer cell lines including DU145, LNCaP and Jurkat. Surprisingly, the lead-compounds were very potent against Jurkat Jγ cells which are resistant to SAHA-induced apoptosis. HDACi were also targeted to cancer cells using folic or pteroic acids as targeting groups. Incorporation of the folic acid into the HDACi pharmacophoric model resulted in inhibitors selective for HDAC6, whereas pteroic-based HDACi inhibited both HDAC1 and 6. Only the pteroic-based inhibitors displayed anticancer activities against folate receptor overexpressing tumors such KB and HeLa. Furthermore, cell-based studies established the inhibition of HDAC1 as the basis for the anticancer activities of the pteroic-based HDACi.
