Abstract
Inhibition of histone deacetylase (HDAC) metalloenzymes
with hydroxamic
acid-based inhibitors is compromised by generally poor metalloenzyme
selectivity and the potential for genotoxicity arising from isocyanate
metabolites. Here, we applied our previously described platform for
iron(II)-activatable drug delivery to the pan-HDAC inhibitor panobinostat
and its study in multiple myeloma cell line models. We demonstrate
successful caging of HDAC activity in conjugate form, as well as mitigation
of genotoxicity in a bioisosteric control. Finally, we identify the
carboxy esterase CES1 as being responsible for unexpected proteolytic
instability of the panobinostat conjugate in vitro and in vivo, identifying
a focus for future work toward the ultimate goal of mitigating hydroxamate
toxicity and mutagenicity through tumor-conditional activation.
期刊介绍:
ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters is interested in receiving manuscripts that discuss various aspects of medicinal chemistry. The journal will publish studies that pertain to a broad range of subject matter, including compound design and optimization, biological evaluation, drug delivery, imaging agents, and pharmacology of both small and large bioactive molecules. Specific areas include but are not limited to:
Identification, synthesis, and optimization of lead biologically active molecules and drugs (small molecules and biologics)
Biological characterization of new molecular entities in the context of drug discovery
Computational, cheminformatics, and structural studies for the identification or SAR analysis of bioactive molecules, ligands and their targets, etc.
Novel and improved methodologies, including radiation biochemistry, with broad application to medicinal chemistry
Discovery technologies for biologically active molecules from both synthetic and natural (plant and other) sources
Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic studies that address mechanisms underlying drug disposition and response
Pharmacogenetic and pharmacogenomic studies used to enhance drug design and the translation of medicinal chemistry into the clinic
Mechanistic drug metabolism and regulation of metabolic enzyme gene expression
Chemistry patents relevant to the medicinal chemistry field.
