Abstract

Histone deacetylase inhibitors have been proved to be great potential for the treatment of Cancer. Recently, we designed and modified a series of substituted purine hydroxamate analogs as potent HDAC inhibitors based on our previous studies. The target compounds were investigated for their in vitro HDAC inhibitory activities and anti-proliferative activities. Results indicated that these compounds could effectively inhibit HDAC and possess obvious anti-proliferative activity against tumor cells. Promisingly, target compounds 4m and 4n outperformed SAHA in both enzymatic inhibitory activity and cellular anti-proliferative activity assay.
