This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical preparation technology, specifically relating to an
HDAC inhibitor based on a
tyrosine backbone, its synthesis method, and its application. The invention uses L-
tyrosine as the backbone, with its aromatic ring as the Cap region, linked by a flexible
alkyl chain via an
ether bond, and terminated by an isohydroxamic
acid group (ZBG). The
tyrosine backbone provides a
rigid structure, reducing entropy loss and enhancing hydrophobic interactions with the HDAC surface. By introducing substituents (such as halogens, methyl groups, etc.) onto the tyrosine
benzene ring, the affinity with the HDAC active pocket is further optimized. The prepared compound b19 exhibits an HDAC inhibition capacity of 100%. 50 The concentration reached 26.8 nM, exhibiting superior
antitumor activity compared to SAHA, especially against
solid tumors such as
HeLa cells with IC50. 50 It is 0.55 μM.
