Medicinal chemistry insights into non-hydroxamate HDAC6 selective inhibitors
HDAC6 is predominantly found in the cytoplasm and is mainly responsible for deacetylation of non-histone proteins including α-tubulin in microtubules, the HSP90 chaperone, cortactin, etc. Inhibition of HDAC6 has been shown to be efficacious in treating cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, heart failu...

Summary: | HDAC6 is predominantly found in the cytoplasm and is mainly responsible for deacetylation of non-histone proteins including α-tubulin in microtubules, the HSP90 chaperone, cortactin, etc. Inhibition of HDAC6 has been shown to be efficacious in treating cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, heart failure, pain, fibrosis, and inflammatory diseases. This review focuses on the recent more drug-like selective HDAC6 inhibitors, especially the two major chemotypes of mercaptoacetamides and fluoroalkyl-oxadiazoles. The latter class lacks structural alert thus has low potential for toxicities. As a consequence, fluoroalkyl-oxadiazoles, especially difluoromethyl 1,3,4-oxadiazoles, are promising HDAC6 inhibitors for the treatment of chronic diseases such as heart failure, neurodegenerative diseases, fibrosis, and pain.
