Abstract

In order to find novel nonhydroxamate histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors, a series of thiol-based compounds modeled after suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) was synthesized, and their inhibitory effect on HDACs was evaluated. Compound 6, in which the hydroxamic acid of SAHA was replaced by a thiol, was found to be as potent as SAHA, and optimization of this series led to the identification of HDAC inhibitors more potent than ...
