Abstract

In order to find novel non-hydroxamate histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors, we synthesized several suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA)-based compounds designed on the basis of the catalytic mechanism of HDACs. Among these compounds, 5b was found to be as potent as SAHA. Kinetic enzyme assays and molecular modeling suggested that the mercaptoacetamide moiety of 5b interacts with the zinc in the active site of HDACs and ...
