Popis: This study reports the synthesis of a series of 2-aroylisoindoline hydroxamic acids employing N-benzyl, long alkyl chain and acrylamide units as diverse linkers. In-vitro studies led to the identification of N-benzyl linker-bearing compound (10) and long chain linker-containing compound (17) as dual selective HDAC6/HSP90 inhibitors. Compound 17 displays potent inhibition of HDAC6 isoform (IC50 = 4.3 nM) and HSP90a inhibition (IC50 = 46.8 nM) along with substantial cell growth inhibitory effects with GI50 = 0.76 μM (lung A549) and GI50 = 0.52 μM (lung EGFR resistant H1975). Compound 10 displays potent antiproliferative activity against lung A549 (GI50 = 0.37 μM) and lung H1975 cell lines (GI50 = 0.13 μM) mediated through selective HDAC6 inhibition (IC50 = 33.3 nM) and HSP90 inhibition (IC50 = 66 nM). In addition, compound 17 also modulated the expression of signatory biomarkers associated with HDAC6 and HSP90 inhibition. In the in vivo efficacy evaluation in human H1975 xenografts, 17 induced slightly remarkable suppression of tumor growth both in monotherapy as well as the combination therapy with afatinib (20 mg/kg). Moreover, compound 17 could effectively reduce programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in IFN-γ treated lung H1975 cells in a dose dependent manner suggesting that dual inhibition of HDAC6 and HSP90 can modulate immunosuppressive ability of tumor area.
