The structure of the synthesized 2-pyridones was confirmed through microanalysis and spectroscopic data. In comparison to doxorubicin, the spiro 2-pyridine derivative <strong>9b</strong> exhibited the highest anti-proliferative activity, demonstrating IC<sub>50</sub> values of 6.89 ± 0.4 μM and 5.68 ± 0.3 μM against HepG-2 and Caco-2 cell lines, respectively, with nearly 2-fold increase in efficacy observed in Caco-2 cells. Additionally, compound <strong>9b</strong> demonstrated a significant safety profile concerning normal cells (WI-38), as indicated by selectivity index values of 14.66 and 12.09 against the Caco-2 and HepG-2 cell lines, respectively. Moreover, flow cytometry analysis revealed that compound <strong>9b</strong> halted the cell cycle at the G1/S phase in Caco-2 treated cells, demonstrating an increase in the percentage of cells undergoing both early and late apoptosis. The apoptotic potential was corroborated by the up-regulation of BAX and the down-regulation of Bcl-2 levels.

Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) and SIRT2, as two types of cytosolic histone deacetylases, have emerged as promising targets for AD treatment. HDAC6 plays a role in tau protein phosphorylation, while SIRT2 is involved in Aβ production. Both enzymes regulate microtubule proteins, impacting the formation of NFTs and Aβ plaques. Inhibition of HDAC6 reduces tau hyperphosphorylation, improves microtubule stability, and mitigates neuroinflammation, whereas SIRT2 inhibition attenuates Aβ accumulation and neuroinflammation. Recent studies indicate that dual-targeted inhibition of HDAC6 and SIRT2 may exhibit synergistic effects, suggesting it as a promising strategy for AD treatment. This review summarizes the biological roles of HDAC6 and SIRT2 in AD pathology and examines the development of dual-target inhibitors.
