Abstract

A class of biaryl benzamides was identified and optimized as selective HDAC1&2 inhibitors (SHI-1:2). These agents exhibit selectivity over class II HDACs 4-7, as well as class I HDACs 3 and 8; providing examples of selective HDAC inhibitors for the HDAC isoforms most closely associated with cancer. The hypothesis for the increased selectivity is the binding of a pendant aromatic group in the internal cavity of the HDAC1&2 enzymes. SAR development based on an initial lead led to a series of potent and selective inhibitors with reduced off-target activity and tumor growth inhibition activity in a HCT-116 xenograft model.
