Amindoximes are geometric isomers of N-hydroxyamidines which are bioisosteres of hydroxamates. Since amindoxime group is capable of chelating transition metal ions including zinc ion, amindoximes should possess histone deacetylases (HDACs) inhibitory activity. In this work, we designed and synthesized a series of amindoximes, examined their inhibitory activities against HDACs, and investigated their cytotoxicity to human cancer cells. Preliminary results demonstrated that amindoximes possessed submicromolar HDACs inhibitory activity, with noteworthy enhancement compared with hydroxamates. Furthermore, the amindoximes arrested HCT116 and A549 cells in G2/M phase and showed good efficacy in inducing cells death. We provided a proof-of-concept that amindoximes could be used as HDACs inhibitors and hold great promise as epigenetic drugs.

Indole-3-aldehyde (I3A) is an intestinal microbial metabolite that regulates inflammation in various inflammatory diseases; however, its role in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects and molecular mechanisms of I3A in COPD. We constructed in vivo models using cigarette smoke (CS)-stimulated mice and in vitro models using cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-stimulated MH-S cells.

The natural bicyclic sesquiterpene, β-Caryophyllene oxide (BCPO), has demonstrated inhibitory activity against Fusarium species. While previous studies have documented its antifungal properties through various biochemical mechanisms, the role of BCPO in modulating epigenetic modifications of DNA via histone deacetylases (HDACs) has received comparatively less attention. The study aims to elucidate how BCPO inhibits Fusarium proliferatum by affecting histone acetylation.

Histone Deacetylases (HDACs) have emerged as key therapeutic targets in cancer treatment. In this study, we designed CURSAHA, a multifunctional anticancer agent, through the pharmacophore fusion of Vorinostat and curcumin. CURSAHA demonstrates broad-spectrum inhibitory activity against HDACs, effectively suppressing tumor cells with overexpressed HDACs.

Utilizing metal complexes to inhibit histone deacetylases (HDACs) and carbonic anhydrases (CAs) highlights their therapeutic potential, particularly in anticancer strategies. The metal complexes, with their unique three-dimensional structures, fit adequately into the active sites of the enzymes, not only improving selectivity but also providing facile coordination with amino acid residues to enhance their inhibitory ability. This review emphasizes the role of metal complexes in the selective inhibition of HDACs and CAs along with details of their mechanism of action.

AP2-associated protein kinase 1 (AAK1) is a crucial regulator of clathrin-mediated endocytosis, involved in various cellular processes, including viral infection. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are essential in regulating gene transcription through the process of histone deacetylation and have become promising therapeutic targets for the treatment of cancer and viral infections. In this study, several AAK1/HDACs dual inhibitors based on our previous reported compounds were designed and synthesized, and the antiviral activity of these dual inhibitors were evaluated.
