AB  - Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive form of breast cancer that has poor survival rates due to the absence of specific molecular markers such as estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). In the era of precision oncology, it is recognized that an imbalance in post-translational modifications of histones, such as histone lysine acetylation and deacetylation, is closely linked to tumor initiation and progression. Two groups of enzymes control the reversible nature of histone post-translational acetylation: histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs). Isoform-specific targeting of HDACs is considered a rational strategy to develop safe anticancer therapeutics compared to non-selective HDAC inhibitors. However, non-selective HDAC inhibitors have been more extensively studied in clinical trials. This work presents the design and discovery of potent HDAC inhibitors that selectively target HDAC6 isozyme, using 1-benzhydryl piperazine as a surface recognition group with different hydrocarbon linkers. Through in vitro screening, two HDAC6-selective inhibitors with nanomolar IC50 values and two non-selective HDAC inhibitors were identified. Structure-based molecular modelling was utilized to investigate the impact of linker chemistry on the potency of synthesized inhibitors against HDAC6. The anti-cancer, anti-migratory, and anti-invasive activities of these compounds were evaluated using breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7). Experiments on a zebrafish MDA-MB-231 xenograft model demonstrated that a novel non-selective HDAC inhibitor (8b) with a seven-carbon-atom linker exhibited potent effects against tumor growth, metastasis, and angiogenesis at low micromolar concentrations.

AB  - Defects in epigenetic pathways are key drivers of oncogenic cell proliferation. We developed a LSD1/HDAC6 multitargeting inhibitor (iDual), a hydroxamic acid analogue of the clinical candidate LSD1 inhibitor GSK2879552. iDual inhibits both targets with IC50 values of 540, 110, and 290 nM, respectively, against LSD1, HDAC6, and HDAC8. We compared its activity to structurally similar control probes that act by HDAC or LSD1 inhibition alone, as well as an inactive null compound. iDual inhibited the growth of leukemia cell lines at a higher level than GSK2879552 with micromolar IC50 values. Dual engagement with LSD1 and HDAC6 was supported by dose dependent increases in substrate levels, biomarkers, and cellular thermal shift assay. Both histone methylation and acetylation of tubulin were increased, while acetylated histone levels were only mildly affected, indicating selectivity for HDAC6. Downstream gene expression (CD11b, CD86, p21) was also elevated in response to iDual treatment. Remarkably, iDual synergized with doxorubicin, triggering significant levels of apoptosis with a sublethal concentration of the drug. While mechanistic studies did not reveal changes in DNA repair or drug efflux pathways, the expression of AGPAT9, ALOX5, BTG1, HIPK2, IFI44L, and LRP1, previously implicated in doxorubicin sensitivity, was significantly elevated.

AB  - Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are epigenetic enzymes involved in regulation of histone posttranslational
modifications and gene expression. Since changed function of HDACs is involved in pathogenesis of cancer 1-3,
the HDAC inhibitors are extensive examined as promising anticancer agents. In our in silico study we have
combined structure-based, ligand-based, and fragment-based methodologies to design selective inhibitors against
cytoplasmic isoforms of HDAC, such as histone deacetylase 6 inhibitors (HDAC6) and SIRT2. The drug design
study has defined several promising selective HDAC6 and SIRT2 inhibitors for further synthesis and in vitro
testing. Based on the in vitro activities of the novel compounds in a panel of biochemical HDAC assays as well
as various cell-based assays were selected the most promising candidates for further investigation.

combined structure-based, ligand-based, and fragment-based methodologies to design selective inhibitors against
cytoplasmic isoforms of HDAC, such as histone deacetylase 6 inhibitors (HDAC6) and SIRT2. The drug design
study has defined several promising selective HDAC6 and SIRT2 inhibitors for further synthesis and in vitro
testing. Based on the in vitro activities of the novel compounds in a panel of biochemical HDAC assays as well
as various cell-based assays were selected the most promising candidates for further investigation.",

AB  - Epigenetic therapy is now a clinical reality with eight approved drugs that target
DNA methyltransferases, histone deacetylases (HDACs) and lysine
methyltransferases. A further recent development is the concept of epigenetic
multitargeting through the rational design of novel agents that combine the
inhibition of an epigenetic pathway with a second non-epigenetic target and five
such compounds have advanced to clinical development.
We are investigating the even newer concept of „epi-epi‟ drugs that inhibit two
separate epigenetic pathways. Such dual targeting agents have the potential to
achieve higher efficacy against proliferating cancer cells while reducing tunor
resistance. In this presentation, we report a selective dual histone deacetylase and
demethylase inhibitor with an IC50
LSD1 respectively. The compound was biologically profiled together with control
compounds that were either single inhibitors or inactive against either enzyme. The
dua inhibitor was active against a panel of leukemia cell lines at a micromolar level
and induced apoptosis. Target engagement asays such as CETSA were employed
to confirm the inhibition of HDAC6 and LSD1 in cells. Further experiments were
carried out to identify synergistic effects with clinically approved agents and
promising results were observed with doxorubicin.

AB  - Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is unique hydrolase within HDAC family, having pleiotropic deacetylase activity against alpha-tubulin, cortactin and dynein. Comprehensively, HDAC6 controls cell motility, apoptosis and protein folding, whereas alterations in its structure and function are related to the pathogenesis of cancer, neurodegeneration and inflammation. To define structural motifs which guide HDAC6 selectivity, we developed and compared three-dimensional Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (3D-QSAR) models for HDAC1 and HDAC6 inhibitors. The reduction of the bias in conformer generation was supported by virtual docking study by using crystal structures of human HDAC1 and HDAC6 isoforms. Following these findings, the combined ligand-based and fragment-based drug design methodologies were used in the design of selective HDAC6 inhibitors. Group of the most promising novel ligands was selected based on the predicted HDAC6 selectivity, pharmacokinetic profile, synthetic tractability, and in silico cytotoxicity against the wide range of human cancer cell lines.

AB  - The concept of gene expression is continuously explained with epigenetic modification. Post-translational histone acetylation and DNA methylation are dominant epigenetic alterations of the genome. Histone deacetylases (HDAC) play essential role in this process and therefore are very intensively investigated drug targets. The alteration in the structure and function of HDAC isoforms are identified in the pathogenesis of inflammation, cancer, and neurodegeneration. Eleven human HDAC isoforms are sharing a highly conserved catalytic domain. Among them, HDAC6 and SIRT2 are important for a wide range of diseases, due to their unique physiological functions. In our research, we have applied pharmacophore modelling, virtual screening, molecular docking and molecular dynamic methodologies for design and identification of selective HDAC6 and SIRT2 inhibitors. Recently resolved the crystal structure of catalytic domain II of human HDAC6 discovered a wide binding site essential for the substrate recognition. We have successfully used these structural features of human HDAC6 catalytic domain II to rationally design selective HDAC6 inhibitors. Newly published X-ray structures of selective ligand-SIRT2 complexes have revealed high conformational flexibility of this enzyme, and gave us more details about mechanism of action of sirtuin 2 inhibitors. Based on these findings we have performed molecular dynamic study of SIRT2 and tried to explain the conformational changes during enzyme catalysis. Since small number of selective HDAC modulators have been reported so far, rational design of HDAC6 and SIRT2 inhibitors are essential for further progress in discovery of epigenetic drugs.

AB  - Activity of the histone deacetylases (HDACs) has an essential influence on histone posttranslational
modifications. Therefore, alterations in the structure and expression of HDACs isoforms are strongly related to
the pathogenesis of inflammation, cancer, and neurodegeneration. The HDACs became extensively examined
targets in novel drug discovery. The HDAC6 isoform is a non-histone cytoplasmic deacetylase, manly involved
in deacetylation of α-tubulin, cortactin, and heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) [1]. Our rational drug design study
was focused on identification of selective histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) inhibitors by use of combined ligand
and structure based methodologies. Based on the 3D-QSAR (Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship)
modeling of HDAC6 inhibitors were defined specific molecular determinants for selective HDAC6 inhibition
and further applied for fragment based design of selective HDAC6 inhibitors. Recently resolved crystal structure
of second human catalytic domain of HDAC-6 enzyme (5EDU) [2] was used in virtual docking study of the
examined inhibitors.

abstract = "Activity of the histone deacetylases (HDACs) has an essential influence on histone posttranslational
modifications. Therefore, alterations in the structure and expression of HDACs isoforms are strongly related to
the pathogenesis of inflammation, cancer, and neurodegeneration. The HDACs became extensively examined
targets in novel drug discovery. The HDAC6 isoform is a non-histone cytoplasmic deacetylase, manly involved
in deacetylation of α-tubulin, cortactin, and heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) [1]. Our rational drug design study
was focused on identification of selective histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) inhibitors by use of combined ligand
and structure based methodologies. Based on the 3D-QSAR (Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship)
modeling of HDAC6 inhibitors were defined specific molecular determinants for selective HDAC6 inhibition
and further applied for fragment based design of selective HDAC6 inhibitors. Recently resolved crystal structure
of second human catalytic domain of HDAC-6 enzyme (5EDU) [2] was used in virtual docking study of the
examined inhibitors.",
