Design and synthesis of 1H-benzo[d]imidazole selective HDAC6 inhibitors with potential therapy for multiple myeloma.

Pan-HDAC inhibitors exhibit significant inhibitory activity against multiple myeloma, however, their clinical applications have been hampered by substantial toxic side effects. In contrast, selective HDAC6 inhibitors have demonstrated effectiveness in treating multiple myeloma. Compounds belonging to the class of 1H-benzo[d]imidazole hydroxamic acids have been identified as novel HDAC6 inhibitors, with the benzimidazole group serving as a specific linker for these inhibitors. Notably, compound 30 has exhibited outstanding HDAC6 inhibitory activity (IC50 = 4.63 nM) and superior antiproliferative effects against human multiple myeloma cells, specifically RPMI-8226. Moreover, it has been shown to induce cell cycle arrest in the G2 phase and promote apoptosis through the mitochondrial pathway. In a myeloma RPMI-8226 xenograft model, compound 30 has demonstrated significant in vivo antitumor efficacy (T/C = 34.8%) when administered as a standalone drug, with no observable cytotoxicity. These findings underscore the immense potential of compound 30 as a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment of multiple myeloma.

Effect of carbon source on production, characterization and bioactivity of exopolysaccharide produced by Phellinus vaninii Ljup.

The effect on different three carbon source (i.e. glucose, fructose and sucrose) on production, chemical characterization and antioxidant activity of exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by Phellinus vaninii Ljup was investigated in this study. Amongst carbon sources examined, glucose and sucrose were favorable for the mycelia growth, while the maximum EPS yield was achieved when sucrose was employed. The predominant carbohydrate compositions in EPSs identified were gluconic acid, glucose, mannose and galactose acid. Then, FT-IR spectral analysis revealed prominent characteristic groups in EPSs. EPSs molecule exist as nearly globular shape form in aqueous solution. The variation also affects antioxidant activities by investigated by using hydroxyl and DPPH radical scavenging assay. Sucrose was best carbon source from the viewpoint of antioxidant activity due to the relatively high contents of galactose in the EPS with moderate molecular weight and polydispersity.
