Nonselective histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors show dose-limiting side effects due to the inhibition of multiple, essential HDAC subtypes that can be limited or prevented by restricting their selectivity. We herein report the crystal structures of zebrafish HDAC6 catalytic domain 2 (zHDAC6-CD2) in complex with the selective HDAC6 inhibitors ITF3756 and ITF3985 and shed light on the role of fluorination in the selectivity of benzohydroxamate-based structures over class I isoforms. The reason for the enhancement in the selectivity of the benzohydroxamate-based compounds is the presence of specific interactions between the fluorinated linker and the key residues Gly582, Ser531, and His614 of zHDAC6, which are hindered in class I HDAC isoforms by the presence of an Aspartate that replaces Ser531. These results can be used in the design and development of novel, highly selective HDAC6 inhibitors.

In this study, a novel series of histone deacetylases 6 (HDAC6) inhibitors containing polycyclic aromatic rings were discovered and evaluated for their pharmacological activities. The most potent compound exhibited high HDAC6 inhibitory activity (IC = 261 nM) and excellent HDAC6 selectivity (SI = 109 for HDAC6 over HDAC3). also showed decent antiproliferative activity with IC of 7.

Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is a peculiar HDAC isoform whose expression and functional alterations have been correlated with a variety of pathologies such as autoimmune disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. It is primarily a cytoplasmic protein, and its deacetylase activity is focused mainly on nonhistone substrates such as tubulin, heat shock protein (HSP)90, Foxp3, and cortactin, to name a few. Selective inhibition of HDAC6 does not show cytotoxic effects in healthy cells, normally associated with the inhibition of Class I HDAC isoforms.
