Synthesis and histone deacetylase inhibitory activity of largazole analogs: alteration of the zinc-binding domain and macrocyclic scaffold

Org Lett. 2009 Mar 19;11(6):1301-4. doi: 10.1021/ol900078k.

Abstract

Fourteen analogs of the marine natural product largazole have been prepared and assayed against histone deacetylases (HDACs) 1, 2, 3, and 6. Olefin cross-metathesis was used to efficiently access six variants of the side-chain zinc-binding domain, while adaptation of our previously reported modular synthesis allowed probing of the macrocyclic cap group.
