We report the development of a novel series of saccharin-based N-hydroxybenzamides as histone deacetylases inhibitors. Among them, 6 j exhibited potent HDACs inhibitory activity against Hela nuclear extract. Further biological evaluation found 6 i showed similar antiproliferative activities in vitro compared with the approved SAHA.
Keywords: Histone deacetylases inhibitor; N-Hydroxybenzamide; Saccharin.
