Title: Current status in the discovery of dual BET/HDAC inhibitors.
Authors: Ren Q, Gao W.
Abstract: The development of desired multitarget agents may provide an attractive and cost-effective complement or alternative to drug combinations. Bromodomain and extraterminal domain (BET) and histone deacetylase (HDAC), as important epigenetic modulators, are attractive targets in drug discovery and development. Considering the fact that BET and HDAC inhibitors exert a synergistic effect on cellular processes in cancer cells, the design of dual BET/HDAC inhibitors may be a rational strategy to improve the efficacy of their single-target drugs for tumor treatment. In the current review, we depict the development of dual BET/HDAC inhibitors and particularly highlight their structure-activity relationships (SARs), binding modes, and biological functions with the aim to facilitate rational drug design and develop more dual BET/HDAC inhibitors.
