Abstract
This study aims to design and synthesize novel benzimidazole histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors to explore their potential applications in the treatment of cancer and other related diseases. By comparing the structures of our reported benzimidazole HDAC inhibitors, we designed a series of compounds accordingly. We then used experimentally verified their inhibitory activity against HDAC enzymes. The results showed that several of the newly synthesized compounds showed good HDAC inhibition and anti-proliferative activity. Therefore, we conclude that these novel HDAC inhibitors have potential as drug candidates for the treatment of cancer.
期刊介绍:
Medicinal Chemistry Research (MCRE) publishes papers on a wide range of topics, favoring research with significant, new, and up-to-date information. Although the journal has a demanding peer review process, MCRE still boasts rapid publication, due in part, to the length of the submissions. The journal publishes significant research on various topics, many of which emphasize the structure-activity relationships of molecular biology.
