delta-Lactam-based hydroxamic acids, inhibitors of histone deacetylase (HDAC), have been synthesized via ring closure metathesis of key diene intermediates followed by conversion to hydroxamic acid analogues. The hydroxamic acids 12a, 12b, and 17c showed potent inhibitory activity in HDAC enzyme assay. The hydroxamic acid 12b exhibited growth inhibitory activity on five human tumor cell lines, showing good sensitivity on the MDA-MB-231 breast tumor cell.

The multifactorial nature of cancer requires treatment that involves simultaneous targeting of associated overexpressed proteins and cell signaling pathways, possibly leading to synergistic effects. Herein, we present a systematic study that involves the simultaneous inhibition of human topoisomerases (hTopos) and histone deacetylases (HDACs) by multitargeted quinoline-bridged hydroxamic acid derivatives. These compounds were rationally designed considering pharmacophoric features and catalytic sites of the cross-talk proteins, synthesized, and assessed for their anticancer potential.

The infiltration of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is predominantly characterized by diffuse spread, contributing significantly to therapy resistance and recurrence of GBM. In this study, we reveal that microtubule deacetylation, mediated through the downregulation of fibronectin type III and SPRY domain-containing 1 (FSD1), plays a pivotal role in promoting GBM diffuse infiltration. FSD1 directly interacts with histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) at its second catalytic domain, thereby impeding its deacetylase activity on α-tubulin and preventing microtubule deacetylation and depolymerization.

Cancer is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. One of the primary causes of cancer development and progression is epigenetic dysregulation, which is a heritable modification that alters gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. Therefore, targeting these epigenetic changes has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy.

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) play a crucial role in the regulation of cancer progression and have emerged as key targets for antitumor therapy. Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors (HDACis) effectively suppress tumor cell proliferation, induce apoptosis, and cause cell cycle arrest, demonstrating broad-spectrum antitumor activity. This article primarily focuses on enhancing the selectivity of HDACis through structural modification using natural compounds.

Oxidation of dopamine can cause various side effects, which ultimately leads to cell death and contributes to Parkinson's disease (PD). To counteract dopamine oxidation, newly synthesized dopamine is quickly transported into vesicles via vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) for storage. VMAT2 expression is reduced in patients with PD, and studies have shown increased accumulation of dopamine oxidation byproducts and α-synuclein in animals with low VMAT2 expression.
