Abstract
Psammaplin A (PsA) is a bromotyrosine disulfide dimer with histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition and acts through reduced monomer PsA-SH. We studied the connection of HDAC inhibition, cell growth inhibition, and apoptosis induction of PsA-SH by modifying the -SH group with deletion (6a) or replacement with hydroxamic acid (10b) or benzamide (12g). PsA-SH inhibits HDAC1/2/3 and 6a loses the HDAC inhibition ability. 10b inhibits HDAC1/2/3/6 while 12g shows selective inhibition of HDAC3. PsA-SH and 10b, but neither 6a nor 12g, induce apoptosis in human leukemia HL-60 cells associated with increased acetylation of Histone H3. PsA-SH and 10b inhibit growth of several solid tumor cell lines in vitro and Lewis lung cancer cell growth in vivo. PsA-SH is a simple scaffold for developing selective HDAC inhibitors and induces apoptosis through inhibiting HDAC1/2.
