The enigmatic histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is one of a kind among its family. Recent reports revealed that HDAC6 CD1 exhibits E3 ligase activity. Inspired by these researches, we attempted to develop drugs targeting HDAC6 novel mechanism. Herein, we report a palladium catalysed transformation and purification method for hydroxamic acid dimers, and series of HDAC6 inhibitor-based dimer showing outstanding biological activities and capability of inducing auto-degradation. Our proof-of-concept was highlighted with 2-amino benzamide-based HDAC6 inhibitor dimers that exhibit great HDAC6 inhibition activity (3.9-15.4 nM), good HDAC1/6 selectivity (95-577), and excellent cytotoxicity against human hormone-resistant prostate cancer (HRPC) PC-3 and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) A549 cell lines (5.9-11.3 and 6.6-17.9 μM, respectively) while simultaneously inducing HDAC6 degradation. These dimers not only induce apoptosis and autophagy but also interfere with kinetochore attachment by the detection of BUBR1 phosphorylation at S670.

Background/objectives: Tartrazine (TRZ), a synthetic red azo dye derived from coal tar, is widely used as a food colorant in various food products, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. This study aims to investigate the impact of TRZ on the expression levels of DNA methyltransferases (, , and ) and histone deacetylases ( and ). Additionally, we evaluate genomic DNA stability using the alkaline comet assay in three human cell lines: immortalized human keratinocyte (HaCaT), human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2), and human lung adenocarcinoma (A549).

Neuropathic pain, a debilitating nerve injury-induced condition, remains a significant clinical challenge. This study evaluates the effect of histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) inhibition in a spared nerve injury (SNI) mouse model. Systemic administration of the selective HDAC6 inhibitor ACY-1215 (20 mg/kg/day, 14 days), alleviated SNI-induced pain in mice of both sexes.

Herein, we report a potent HDAC6 PROTAC, TO-1187, which selectively degrades HDAC6 and demonstrates efficacy. The design of TO-1187 was achieved by linking our previously reported HDAC6 inhibitor, TO-317, to the cereblon (CRBN) E3 ligase ligand, pomalidomide. TO-1187 achieved monoselective HDAC6 degradation in human multiple myeloma cells, MM.

Background: Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) exhibits a significant mortality rate and lacks effective targeted therapies. The GATA-binding factor 6 (GATA6), a pivotal regulator of lung development, undergoes reduced expression in LUSC and correlates with its metastasis and prognosis. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying the down-regulation of GATA6 in LUSC remain elusive.
