Title: Bicyclic tetrapeptides as potent HDAC inhibitors: effect of aliphatic loop position and hydrophobicity on inhibitory activity.

Abstract: Several histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibiting bicyclic tetrapeptides have been designed and synthesized through intramolecular ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction and peptide cyclization. We designed bicyclic tetrapeptides based on CHAP31, trapoxin B and HC-toxin I. The HDAC inhibitory and p21 promoter assay results showed that the aliphatic loop position as well as the hydrophobicity plays an important role toward the activity of the bicyclic tetrapeptide HDAC inhibitors.
