Abstract

Inhibitors of histone deacetylases (HDAC) are emerging as a promising class of anti-cancer agents. The mercaptoacetoamide-based inhibitors are reported to be less toxic than hydroxamate and are worthy of further consideration. Therefore, we have designed a series of analogs as potential inhibitors of HDACs, in which the mercaptoacetamide group was replaced by (mercaptomethyl)fluoroalkene, and their HDAC inhibitory activity was evaluated. Subnanomolar inhibition was observed for all synthetic compounds.
