Development and characterization of a CNS-penetrant benzhydryl hydroxamic acid class IIa histone deacetylase inhibitor
Structural highlights
Disease[HDAC4_HUMAN] Defects in HDAC4 are the cause of brachydactyly-mental retardation syndrome (BDMR) [MIM:600430]. A syndrome resembling the physical anomalies found in Albright hereditary osteodystrophy. Common features are mild facial dysmorphism, congenital heart defects, distinct brachydactyly type E, mental retardation, developmental delay, seizures, autism spectrum disorder, and stocky build. Soft tissue ossification is absent, and there are no abnormalities in parathyroid hormone or calcium metabolism.[1] Function[HDAC4_HUMAN] Responsible for the deacetylation of lysine residues on the N-terminal part of the core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4). Histone deacetylation gives a tag for epigenetic repression and plays an important role in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression and developmental events. Histone deacetylases act via the formation of large multiprotein complexes. Involved in muscle maturation via its interaction with the myocyte enhancer factors such as MEF2A, MEF2C and MEF2D.[2] Publication Abstract from PubMedWe have identified a potent, cell permeable and CNS penetrant class IIa histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor 22, with >500-fold selectivity over class I HDACs (1,2,3) and approximately 150-fold selectivity over HDAC8 and the class IIb HDAC6 isoform. Dose escalation pharmacokinetic analysis demonstrated that upon oral administration, compound 22 can reach exposure levels in mouse plasma, muscle and brain in excess of cellular class IIa HDAC IC50 levels for approximately 8h. Given the interest in aberrant class IIa HDAC function for a number of neurodegenerative, neuromuscular, cardiac and oncology indications, compound 22 (also known as CHDI-390576) provides a selective and potent compound to query the role of class IIa HDAC biology, and the impact of class IIa catalytic site occupancy in vitro and in vivo.
