Synthesis and histone deacetylase inhibitory activity of cyclic tetrapeptides containing a retrohydroxamate as zinc ligand

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2004 May 17;14(10):2427-31. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2004.03.018.

Abstract

Cyclic tetrapeptide retrohydroxamic acids were prepared as histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors and evaluated the inhibitory activity and found that they have potential as anticancer drugs.
