Heterocyclic ketones as inhibitors of histone deacetylase

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2003 Nov 17;13(22):3909-13. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2003.09.007.

Abstract

Several heterocyclic ketones were investigated as potential inhibitors of histone deacetylase. Nanomolar inhibitors such as 22 and 25 were obtained, the anti-proliferative activity of which were shown to be mediated by HDAC inhibition.
