β¦ Synopsis
A four step degradation of the C8 ethyl ketone of apicidin provided a route to the C6 aldehyde intermediate and several mechanism-based transition state inhibitors of histone deacetylase. The compounds generated herein delineate the significance of apicidin's side chain, highlighted by the high affinity C8 aldehyde and C8-keto-9,10-epoxide analogs of apicidin.

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) offer potentially attractive molecular targets for sensitizing cancers to treatment with radiation therapy. By affecting patterns of gene expression, differentiation, apoptosis, and enhanced responses to therapeutic agents may be induced in cancer cells. Here, we review
Synthesis of nine macrocyclic peptide HDAC inhibitors and three triazole derivatives are described. HDAC inhibitory activity of these compounds against HeLa cell lysate is evaluated. The biological data demonstrates that incorporation of a triazole unit improves the HDAC inhibitory activity.
