Abstract
A series of potent inhibitors of histone deacetylase-8 (HDAC8) is described that contains an α-amino amide zinc-binding unit and a substituted isoindolinyl capping group. The presence of a 2,4-dichlorophenyl unit located in the acetate-release cavity was shown to confer a gain of approx. 4.3 kJ mol−1 in binding energy compared to a phenyl group, and the isoindoline linker has approx. 5.8 kJ mol−1 greater binding energy than the corresponding tetrahydroisoquinoline ring system. In a series of 5-substituted isoindolin-2-yl inhibitors, a 5-acetylamino derivative was found to be more potent than the 5-unsubstituted lead HDAC8 inhibitor (increase in binding energy of 2.0 kJ mol−1, ascribed to additional binding interactions within the Nε-acetyl-l-lysine binding tunnel in HDAC8, including hydrogen bonding to Asp101. Tolerance of a 5-substituent (capping group) on the isoindoline ring has been demonstrated, and which in some cases confers improved enzyme inhibition, the HDAC8 substrate-binding region providing a platform for additional interactions.
