The naturally occurring cyclic depsipeptide, FK228 inhibits histone deacetylase (HDAC) enzymes after reductive cleavage of intra-molecular disulfide bond. One of the sulfhydryl groups produced in the reduction interacts with zinc atom that involved in the catalytic mechanism of type 1 and 2 HDACs such as HDAC1, HDAC4, and HDAC6. In the present study, we describe the development of CHAP31, trapoxin B and HC-toxin based cyclic tetrapeptides with intra-molecular disulfide bond as HDAC inhibitors. The bicyclic tetrapeptides disulfide showed potent HDAC1 and HDAC4 inhibition and p21 promoting activity.

Several histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibiting bicyclic tetrapeptides have been designed and synthesized through intramolecular ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction and peptide cyclization. We designed bicyclic tetrapeptides based on CHAP31, trapoxin B and HC-toxin I. The HDAC inhibitory and p21 promoter assay results showed that the aliphatic loop position as well as the hydrophobicity plays an important role toward the activity of the bicyclic tetrapeptide HDAC inhibitors.

Trichostatin A (TSA) and trapoxin (TPX), inhibitors of the eukaryotic cell cycle and inducers of morphological reversion of transformed cells, inhibit histone deacetylase (HDAC) at nanomolar concentrations. Recently, FK228 (also known as FR901228 and depsipeptide) and MS-275. antitumor agents structurally unrelated to TSA, have been shown to be potent HDAC inhibitors.

Cyclic hydroxamic-acid-containing peptide 1 (CHAP1), designed as a hybrid of trichostatin A and trapoxin, is a lead compound for the development of potent inhibitors of histone deacetylase (HDAC). In this study, we synthesized a series of CHAP derivatives and evaluated their biological activities by monitoring the potency of their inhibition of HDAC activity, their ability to augment the expression of MHC class-I molecules in B16/BL6 cells, and their effect on cell proliferation. A structure-activity relationship study using these three assay systems revealed several requirements of their structure for the strong inhibition of HDAC not only in the cell-free situation, but also in cells.
