Abstract

Herein we report the discovery of a family of simple, amino acid derived class I HDAC inhibitors. By means of traditional medicinal chemistry optimization methods in partnership with X-ray crystallography approaches and molecular modeling techniques, excellent HDAC8 selectivity was achieved. Isoform selectivity criteria is discussed on the basis of X-ray crystal structures of our novel inhibitors bound to HDAC8, marking the first reported exploitation of the HDAC acetate binding tunnel with a non-natural substrate conferring isoform selectivity.
