Abstract:
:Semisynthetic 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) analogues bearing 1-en-2-cyano-3-oxo substitution on ring A have enhanced antitumor effects with reduced levels of HDAC3 and HDAC6 proteins. Aiming to inhibit both HDAC protein and activity, we developed a hybrid molecule by tethering active GA analogue methyl 2-cyano-3,11-dioxo-18β-olean-1,12-dien-30-oate (CDODA-Me) and Vorinostat (SAHA). We tested the proper hybrid approaches of GA with hydroxamic acid and turned out that GA conjugated with SAHA by a piperazine linker was the best. The conjugate (15) of CDODA-Me and SAHA linked through a piperazine group was a potent cytotoxic agent against cancer cells with apoptosis induction. Compound 15 was more effective than the simple combination of CDODA-Me and SAHA to induce apoptosis. Mechanistic studies revealed that 15 was less effective than SAHA to inhibit HDAC activity, but was more effective than CDODA-Me to decrease the levels of HDAC3 and HDAC6 proteins with upregulated levels of acetylated H3 and acetylated α-tubulin. Compound 15 represents a new HDAC3 and HDAC6 inhibitor by reducing protein levels.
