Of which, compounds <strong>26b</strong> and <strong>26n</strong> demonstrated potent dual inhibition against HDAC3 and BRD4. Compound <strong>26n</strong> demonstrated potent antiproliferative effects against a panel of cancer cells, with human pancreatic cancer cell line Capan-1 displaying the highest susceptibility. Compound <strong>26n</strong> exhibited significant upregulation of Ac-H3 and downregulation of c-Myc at concentrations as low as 1 μM, suggesting proper target engagement in Capan-1 cells.

HDAC6 binds aggregated polyubiquitinated proteins through its UBD, mediating their transport to the aggresome and subsequent removal via autophagy.
