Abstract

The inhibition of histone deacetylases (HDACs) has been considered a promising therapeutic strategy for treatment of many diseases, especially Cancer. In the current study, a series of 8-substituted quinoline-2-carboxamide derivatives were designed and synthesized as potent HDAC inhibitors. The most potent compound 21 g (IC50 = 0.050 µM) exhibited 3-fold greater HDAC inhibitory activity compared to the known HDAC Inhibitor Vorinostat (IC50 = 0.137 µM). Additionally, compound 21g exhibited low toxicity against normal cells(IC50 in HUVEC cell > 50 µM) and showed good liver microsomal stability, therefore, may serve as a new lead compound for further development.
