Synthesis, bioevaluation and docking study of 5-substitutedphenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole-based hydroxamic acids as histone deacetylase inhibitors and antitumor agents

Abstract Since the first histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor (Zolinza®, widely known as suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid; SAHA) was approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of T-cell lymphoma in 2006, the search for newer HDAC inhibitors has attracted a great deal of interest of medicinal chemists worldwide. As a continuity of our ongoing research in this area, we designed and synthesized a series of 5-substitutedphenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole-based hydroxamic acids as analogues of SAHA and evaluated their biological activities. A number of compounds in this series, for example, N1-hydroxy-N8-(5-(2-chlorophenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)octandiamide (5b), N1-hydroxy-N8-(5-(3-chlorophenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)octandiamide (5c) and N1-hydroxy-N8-(5-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)octandiamide (5d), were found to possess potent anticancer cytotoxicity and HDAC inhibition effects. Compounds 5b–d were generally two- to five-fold more potent in terms of cytotoxicity compared to SAHA against five cancer cell lines tested. Docking studies revealed that these hydroxamic acid displayed higher affinities than SAHA toward HDAC8.

5-aryl-1,3,4-thiadiazole-based hydroxamic acids as histone deacetylase inhibitors and antitumor agents: synthesis, bioevaluation and docking study.

The search for newer histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors has attracted a great deal of interest of medicinal chemists worldwide, especially after the first HDAC inhibitor (Zolinza(®), widely known as SAHA or Suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid) was approved by the FDA for the treatment of Tcell lymphoma in 2006. As a continuity of our ongoing research in this area, we designed and synthesized a series of 5-aryl-1,3,4-thiadiazole-based hydroxamic acids as analogues of SAHA and evaluated their biological activities. Most of the compounds in this series, e.g. compounds with 5-aryl moiety being 2- furfuryl (5a), 5-bromofuran-2-yl (5b), 5-methylfuran-2-yl (5c), thiophen-2-yl (5d), 5-methylthiophen-2-yl (5f) and pyridyl (5g-i), were found to have potent anticancer cytotoxicity with IC50 values of generally 5- to 10-fold lower than that of SAHA in 4 human cancer cell lines assayed. Those compounds with potent cytotoxicity were also found to have strong HDAC inhibition effects. Docking studies revealed that compounds 5a and 5d displayed high affinities towards HDAC2 and 8.

Novel Hydroxamic Acids Incorporating 1-((1H-1,2,3-Triazol-4-yl)methyl)- 3-substituted-2-oxoindolines: Synthesis, Biological Evaluation and SAR Analysis

BACKGROUND Histone deacetylases (HDAC) enzymes are emerging as potential targets for cancer treatments. In this study, several series of novel hydroxamic acids incorporating 1-((1H- 1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl)-3-substituted-2-oxoindolines were explored. METHODS The compounds were designed using Autodock Vina program, then synthesized and evaluated in vitro and in silico for their inhibitory activity against HDACs. The cytotoxicity was measured by SRB method. The enzyme inhibitory effects of the compounds were evaluated by the fluorescent assay. RESULTS Biological evaluation showed that these hydroxamic acids were generally cytotoxic against four human cancer cell lines (SW620, colon; PC-3, prostate; AsPC-1, pancreas; NCI-H23, lung). Several compounds, e.g. 7g, 11c, and 11g, displayed up to 10-fold more potent than SAHA (suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid, vorinostat) in term of cytotoxicity. The synthesized compounds were also comparably potent to SAHA in inhibiting HDAC2. In particular, compound 11c displayed potential inhibitory effects against HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC6, and HDAC8 with comparable or slightly higher potency than SAHA. Docking results on four class I and IIB isoenzymes indicated that these compounds tightly bound to HDACs at the active site with binding affinities much higher than that of SAHA. Finally, chemo-informatics approaches were employed to assess the pharmacokinetic and toxicity profiles of 7g and 11c. We identified degradation via phase II metabolism and toxicity two of the most serious problems that need further optimization. CONCLUSION Taking altogether our findings are encouraging and current hydroxamate derivatives are worth being considered as potential HDAC inhibitors and could be useful for further research on the development of new anti-cancer agents.

Novel hydroxamic acids incorporating 1-((1 H -1,2,3-Triazol-4-yl)methyl)-3-hydroxyimino-indolin-2-ones: synthesis, biological evaluation, and SAR analysis

AbstractA series of seventeen novel hydroxamic acids incorporating 1-((1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl)-3-hydroxyimino-indolin-2-ones was designed and synthesized. Biological evaluation showed that these hydroxamic acids potently inhibited a class-I isoform of HDACs (HDAC2) with

IC50 values in low micromolar range. Several compounds also exhibited good cytotoxicity. Two compounds, 5e and 5f, emerged as the most potent HDAC2 inhibitors with cytotoxicity up to 8-fold more potent than SAHA in three human cancer cell lines, including SW620 (colon cancer), PC3 (prostate cancer) and AsPC-1 (pancreatic cancer). A molecular modeling approach has been carried out which revealed some structure-activity relationships. Further investigation on absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity (ADMET) suggested that compounds 5e and 5f, while showing potent HDAC2 inhibitory bioactivity, hold desirable characteristics for anticancer compounds.GRAPHICAL ABSTRACTThree series of novel hydroxamic acids incorporating 1-((1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl)-3-hydroxyimino-indolin-2-ones (4a-c, 5a-g, 6a-g) were synthesized. Biological evaluation showed that these hydroxamic acids potently inhibited HDAC2 with
