Abstract

The suberoyl anilide hydroxamic acid (vorinostat) analogs with the aziridin-1-yl oxime moiety as a possible metal chelating functionality have been synthesized. Their biological activity and stability under physiological conditions have been evaluated. Although some of the synthesized compounds demonstrated high antiproliferative activity against human HT1080 fibrosarcoma (HT1080, IC50 = 0.3 – 7.7 μM) comparable to vorinostat (HT1080, IC50 = 2.4 μM), they showed only weak histone deacetylase inhibition activity in HeLa cell line extracts.
