Novel histone deacetylase inhibitors: cyclic tetrapeptide with trifluoromethyl and pentafluoroethyl ketones

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2004 Nov 1;14(21):5343-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2004.08.016.

Abstract

Cyclic tetrapeptides containing trifluoromethyl and pentafluoroethyl ketone as zinc binding functional group were synthesized as potent HDAC inhibitors. Evaluation by human HDAC inhibition assay and p21 promoter assay showed that these inhibitors are promising anticancer agents.
