HDAC-IN-42 (compound 14f) is a highly potent and selective inhibitor of histone deacetylase (HDAC) enzymes, with IC50 values of 0.19 μM for HDAC1 and 4.98 μM for HDAC6. It exhibits remarkable anticancer properties and inhibits cell proliferation. Additionally, HDAC-IN-42 induces apoptosis and causes cell cycle arrest specifically at the G2 M phase [1].
4-Chloro-6,7-bis(2-methoxyethoxy)quinazoline is a building block and synthetic intermediate.1,2,3,4,5It has been used as a precursor in the synthesis of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitors, dual RTK and histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors, and anticancer compounds.1,2,3It is also a synthetic intermediate in the synthesis of EGFR inhibitors, including erlotinib , with antiproliferative activity.4,5
TW9 is a dual inhibitor of bromodomain 2 (BD2) in bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) and histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1; IC50s = 0.074 and 0.29 μM, respectively).1It is selective for BD2 over BD1 in BRD4 (IC50= 0.72 μM) and for HDAC1 over HDAC2 (IC50= 2.5 μM). TW9 (50 nM) induces apoptosis in, and inhibits proliferation of, MIA PaCa-2 pancreatic cancer cells. It induces cell cycle arrest at the G1phase in HPAC pancreatic cancer cells when used at a concentration of 2 μM. TW9 acts synergistically with gemcitabine to reduce the viability of HPAC cells. 1.Zhang, X., Zegar, T., Weiser, T., et al.Characterization of a dual BET HDACinhibitor for treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomaInt.
