Herein we describe the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of new hydroxamic tertiary amines as histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors. These compounds have allowed us to clarify the influence of cap group dimension and hydrophobicity on HDAC inhibitory activity. This report also reveals the recognition pattern between the linear compounds and the histone deacetylase-like protein (HDLP) model receptor, and discusses the synthesis and invitro evaluation of HDAC inhibitory activity in HeLa cell nuclear extracts. We obtained good qualitative agreement between experimental results and theoretical predictions, confirming that appropriately substituted hydroxamic tertiary amines are potential active HDAC inhibitors.

Abstract
Herein we describe the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of new hydroxamic tertiary amines as histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors. These compounds have allowed us to clarify the influence of cap group dimension and hydrophobicity on HDAC inhibitory activity. This report also reveals the recognition pattern between the linear compounds and the histone deacetylase-like protein (HDLP) model receptor, and discusses the synthesis and invitro evaluation of HDAC inhibitory activity in HeLa cell nuclear extracts. We obtained good qualitative agreement between experimental results and theoretical predictions, confirming that appropriately substituted hydroxamic tertiary amines are potential active HDAC inhibitors.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
