| HDAC Inhibition Assays |
Description: | HDAC inhibition assays were performed by Reaction Biology Corp. (Malvern, Pa.) using isolated human, recombinant full-length HDAC1 and -6 from a baculovirus expression system in Sf9 cells. An acetylated fluorogenic peptide, RHKKAc, derived from residues 379-382 of p53 was used as substrate. The reaction buffer was made up of 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 127 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 1 mg/mL BSA, and a final concentration of 1% DMSO. Compounds were delivered in DMSO and delivered to enzyme mixture with preincubation of 5-10 min followed by substrate addition and incubation for 2 h at 30 C. Trichostatin A and developer were added to quench the reaction and generate fluorescence, respectively. Dose-response curves were generated starting at 30 μM compound with three-fold serial dilutions to generate a 10-dose plot. IC50 values were then generated from the resulting plots, and the values expressed are the average of duplicate trials standard deviation.Compound 1 was identified to possess submicromolar HDAC inhibitory activity; however, it was not selective against representative members of the Zn2+-dependant Classes 1 and 2 (HDAC1 and HDAC6, respectively). It was discovered that activity and selectivity could be improved for HDAC6 by accessing a unique cavity on the surface of HDAC6. This was accomplished substitutions on the urea nitrogens. There is a shorter substrate channel on HDAC6 relative to HDAC1 and this feature represented an excellent strategy to impart critical isoform selectivity (Butler et al., J Am Chem Soc 2010, 132(31):10842-10846; Kalin et al., J Med Chem 2012, 55(2):639-651). By incorporating substitutions on the urea motif, the additional branched molecular surface could form valuable contacts with the subtle differences at the HDAC6 surface while the benzyl linker would give a shorter linker that would favor away from HDAC1 inhibition. |
