Abstract: Histone deacetylases (HDACs) has proved to be promising target for the development of antitumor drugs. In this study, we reported the design and synthesis of a class of novel hydroxamate-based bis-substituted aromatic amide HDAC inhibitors with 1,2,4-oxadiazole core. Most newly synthesized compounds displayed excellent HDAC1 inhibitory effects and significant anti-proliferative activities. Among them, compounds 11a and 11c increased acetylation of histone H3 and H4 in dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, 11a and 11c remarkably induced apoptosis in HepG2 cancer cells. Finally, the high potency of compound 11a was rationalized by molecular docking studies.
