Additionally, HDACs participate in the genesis and development of cancer diseases as promising therapeutic targets to treat cancer. Therefore, in this work, we designed and evaluated a set of hydroxamic acid derivatives that contain a hydrophobic moiety as antiproliferative HDAC inhibitors. For the chemical structure design, in silico tools (molecular docking, molecular dynamic (MD) simulations, ADME/Tox properties were used to target Zn2+ atoms and HDAC hydrophobic cavities. The most promising compounds were assayed in different cancer cell lines, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2), pancreatic cancer (MIA PaCa-2), breast cancer (MCF-7 and HCC1954), renal cancer (RCC4-VHL and RCC4-VA) and neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y). Molecular docking and MD simulations coupled to the MMGBSA approach showed that the target compounds have affinity for HDAC1, HDAC6 and HDAC8. Of all the compounds evaluated, YSL-109 showed the best activity against hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2 cell line, IC50 = 3.39 µM), breast cancer (MCF-7 cell line, IC50 = 3.41 µM; HCC1954 cell line, IC50 = 3.41 µM) and neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y cell line, IC50 = 6.42 µM). In vitro inhibition assays of compound YSL-109 against the HDACs showed IC50 values of 259.439 µM for HDAC1, 0.537 nM for HDAC6 and 2.24 µM for HDAC8.enAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Antineoplastic AgentsBreast NeoplasmsCarcinoma, HepatocellularCell Line, TumorCell ProliferationDrug DesignDrug Screening Assays, AntitumorFemaleHep G2 CellsHistone Deacetylase 1Histone Deacetylase 6Histone Deacetylase InhibitorsHistone DeacetylasesHumansHydroxamic AcidsLiver NeoplasmsMCF-7 CellsMolecular Docking SimulationRepressor ProteinsHydroxamic acid derivatives as HDAC1, HDAC6 and HDAC8 inhibitors with antiproliferative activity in cancer cell lines.research article32591593open access10.1038/s41598-020-67112-42045-2322PMC7320180https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-67112-4.pdfhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7320180/pdf
