Abstract

The natural cyclopeptide FR235222 is a potent HDAC inhibitor displaying relevant multiple anticancer effects and is considered an attractive lead compound for the generation of new and more effective antitumor therapeutics. Recently, we have synthesized a small collection of FR235222 simplified analogues which showed interesting biological activities. These results encouraged us to further explore the structural determinants responsible for the activity of this class of HDAC inhibitors in order to gain guidelines for the rational design of new derivatives with putative higher affinity for this target. In the present paper, we report the results obtained, docking these ligands in the binding pocket of HDLP, an HDAC homologue. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
