Abstract

We report the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of a new series of largazole analogues in which a 4-methylthiazoline moiety was replaced with a triazole and tetrazole ring, respectively. Compound 7 bearing a tetrazole ring was identified to show much better selectivity for HDAC1 over HDAC9 than largazole (10-fold). This work could serve as a foundation for further exploration of selective HDAC inhibitors using a largazole molecular scaffold.
