Design of Chimeric Histone Deacetylase-and Tyrosine Kinase-Inhibitors: A Series of Imatinib Hybrides as Potent Inhibitors of Wild-Type and Mutant BCR-ABL, PDGF- …
Inhibitors of histone deacetylases are a new class of cancer therapeutics with possibly broad applicability. Combinations of HDAC inhibitors with the kinase inhibitor 1 (Imatinib) in recent studies showed additive and synergistic effects. Here we present a new concept by combining inhibition of protein kinases and HDACs, two independent pharmacological activities, in one synthetic small molecule. In general, the HDAC inhibition profile, the ...
