In order to take advantage of both immunotherapeutic and epigenetic antitumor agents, a series of imidazothiazole-based hydroxamic acid derivatives were designed based on the pharmacophore fusion strategy and evaluated as potent IDO1 and HDAC6 dual inhibitors. Among these inhibitors, the most potent compound () showed considerable IDO1 inhibitory activity and a good selectivity profile for HDAC6 over the other HDAC isoforms. The intracellular inhibition of HDAC6 by was validated by Western blot analysis. Docking studies illustrated that the possible binding modes of compound interacted with IDO1 and HDAC6. Moreover, compound was found to arrest the cell cycle at the G2/M phase in HCT-116 cells. In particular, compound also exhibited potent in vivo antitumor efficacy in CT26 tumor-bearing BALB/c mice models, with no significant toxicity. Collectively, this work provides a promising lead compound that serves as IDO1/HDAC6 dual inhibitor for the development of novel antitumor agents.
为了同时利用免疫治疗和表观遗传抗肿瘤药物,基于药效团融合策略设计了一系列基于咪唑并噻唑的异羟肟酸衍生物,并将其评估为有效的吲哚胺2,3-双加氧酶1(IDO1)和组蛋白去乙酰化酶6(HDAC6)双重抑制剂。在这些抑制剂中,最有效的化合物()表现出相当可观的IDO1抑制活性,并且对HDAC6相对于其他HDAC亚型具有良好的选择性。通过蛋白质印迹分析验证了()对HDAC6的细胞内抑制作用。对接研究表明化合物()与IDO1和HDAC6相互作用的可能结合模式。此外,发现化合物()在HCT-116细胞中将细胞周期阻滞在G2/M期。特别地,化合物()在携带CT26肿瘤的BALB/c小鼠模型中也表现出有效的体内抗肿瘤功效,且无明显毒性。总的来说,这项工作提供了一种有前景的先导化合物,可作为IDO1/HDAC6双重抑制剂用于开发新型抗肿瘤药物。
