According to the binding mode of ABBV-744 with bromodomains and the cape space of HDAC, the novel selective HDAC/BRD4 dual inhibitors were designed and synthesized by the pharmacophore fusion strategy. Evaluating the biomolecular activities through SARs exploration identified three kinds of selective dual inhibitors 41c (HDAC1/BRD4), 43a (pan-HDAC/BRD4) and 43d (HDAC6/BRD4(BD2)), whose target-related cellular activities in MV-4-11 cells were also confirmed. Significantly, the selective dual inhibitor 41c (HDAC1/BRD4) exhibited synergistic effects against MV-4-11 cells, which strongly induced G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, and the first HDAC6/BRD4(BD2) dual inhibitor was found. This study provides support for selective HDAC/BRD4 dual inhibitors as epigenetic probes based on pyrrolopyridone core for the future biological evaluation in different cancer cell lines.
根据 ABBV-744 与溴结构域的结合模式和 HDAC 的帽空间,设计并合成了通过药效团融合策略设计的新型选择性 HDAC/BRD4 双重抑制剂。通过 SARs 探索评估生物分子活性,确定了三种选择性双重抑制剂 41c(HDAC1/BRD4)、43a(pan-HDAC/BRD4)和 43d(HDAC6/BRD4(BD2)),并在 MV-4-11 细胞中证实了其靶相关细胞活性。值得注意的是,选择性双重抑制剂 41c(HDAC1/BRD4)对 MV-4-11 细胞表现出协同作用,强烈诱导 G0/G1 细胞周期停滞和细胞凋亡,发现了第一个 HDAC6/BRD4(BD2)双重抑制剂。本研究为基于吡咯并吡啶酮核心的选择性 HDAC/BRD4 双重抑制剂作为表观遗传学探针提供了依据,为未来在不同癌细胞系中的生物学评价提供了支持。
