Abstract: A series of N-hydroxy-1,2-disubstituted-1H-benzimidazol-5-yl acrylamides were designed and synthesized as novel HDAC inhibitors. General SAR has been established for the substituents at positions 1 and 2, as well as the importance of the ethylene group and its attachment to position 5. Optimized compounds are much more potent than SAHA in both enzymatic and cellular assays. A representative compound, 23 (SB639), has demonstrated antitumor activity in a colon cancer xenograft model.
