Abstract

Herein, we report the development of highly potent HDAC inhibitors for the treatment of Cancer. A series of adamantane and nor-adamantane based HDAC inhibitors were designed, synthesized and screened for the inhibitory activity of HDAC. A number of compounds exhibited GI50 of 10-100 nM in human HCT116, NCI-H460 and U251 Cancer cells, in vitro. Compound 32 displays efficacy in human tumour animal xenograft model.
