ABSTRACT
Since the histone modifying enzymes EZH2 and HDACs control a number of epigenetic-dependent carcinogenic pathways, we designed the first-in-class dual EZH2/HDAC inhibitor 5 displaying (sub)micromolar inhibition against both targets. When tested in several cancer cell lines, the hybrid 5 impaired cell viability at low micromolar level and in leukemia U937 and rhabdomyosarcoma RH4 cells provided G1 arrest, apoptotic induction, and increased differentiation, associated with an increase of acetyl-H3 and acetyl-α-tubulin and a decrease of H3K27me3 levels. In glioblastoma U87 cells, 5 hampered epithelial to mesenchymal transition by increasing the E-cadherin expression, thus proposing itself as a useful candidate for anticancer therapy.
