RESUMO
Optimisation of ADS100380, a sub-micromolar HDAC inhibitor identified using a virtual screening approach, led to a series of substituted 5-(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-thiophene-2-hydroxamic acids (6a-i), that possessed significant HDAC inhibitory activity. Subsequent functionalisation of the pendent phenyl group of compounds 6f and 6g provided analogues 6j-w with further enhanced enzyme and anti-proliferative activity. Compound 6j demonstrated efficacy in a mouse xenograft experiment.

Further investigation of a series of thienyl-based hydroxamic acids that included ADS100380 and ADS102550 led to the identification of the 5-pyridin-2-yl-thiophene-2-hydroxamic acid 3c, which possessed modest HDAC inhibitory activity. Substitution at the 5- and 6-positions of the pyridyl ring of compound 3c provided compounds 5a-g, 7a, b, 9, and 13a. Compound 5b demonstrated improved potency, in vitro DMPK profile, and rat oral bioavailability, compared to ADS102550. Functionalisation of the pendent phenyl group of compounds 5b, 5e and 13a provided analogues that possessed excellent enzyme inhibition and anti-proliferative activity.
