Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a novel heterocyclic compound having a histone deacetylase inhibitory ability and a medical use thereof, particularly to an HDAC6 inhibitor which is more selective and effective on HDAC6 among histone deacetylases (HDACs), and treatment of histone deacetylase-associated diseases.


BACKGROUND ART

A histone deacetylase (HDAC) plays an important role in gene expression and differentiation as well as maintenance of cellular homeostasis by promoting a process of removing acetyl groups from acetylated 3-aminolysine residues on histone and non-histone proteins. HDACs consist of four classes and 18 subtypes, classified into Class I (HDAC1, 2, 3, and 8), Class II (HDAC4, 5, 7, 9, 6, and 10), Class III (SIRT1-7), and Class IV (HDAC11), respectively. HDACs, which belong to Classes I, II, and IV, are Zn2+-dependent enzymes, while Class III HDACs are characterized as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent enzymes.


Of these HDACs, HDAC6 consists of 1215 amino acid residues including CD1 and CD2 catalytic domains in the N-terminal and central regions, respectively. The C-terminus has a zinc-finger ubiquitin binding domain that facilitates the interaction between ubiquitin proteasomes and the aggresome pathway. In addition to deacetylation of histones, HDAC6 induces deacetylation using non-histone proteins as substrates such as α-tubulin, cortactin, tau, peroxiredoxin, and heat shock protein (HSP90).


Numerous reports suggest that HDAC6 is associated with various physiological processes such as cell migration, autophagy, endocytosis, protein transport, apoptosis, and degradation, and owing to these important physiological functions, HDAC6 is becoming an effective therapeutic target for various human diseases such as cancer, inflammation, and immune disorders.


To date, various types of HDAC inhibitors have been researched and developed, of which five types of FDA-approved HDAC-inhibiting anticancer drugs are in use. However, since these drugs are non-selective HDAC inhibitors, there is a need to develop selective inhibitors which target characteristic isoforms while having reduced side effects thereby. Due to the large similarities among HDAC subtypes, it is not easy to discover subtype selective inhibitors, but there is a high demand for the development of more selective, effective HDAC6 inhibitors.

<Experimental Example 1> Evaluation of HDAC6 and HDAC8 Inhibitory Activity of Synthetic Compounds
1) Deacetylation Processes of Substrates and Development Processes

2×HDAC enzymes were dispensed in each well of the reaction plate except for the control well without HDAC enzyme, and buffer was dispensed in the control well without the enzyme. Using acoustic technology (Echo550, nanoliter range), compounds dissolved in 100% DMSO were added to the enzyme mixture, spun down, and pre-cultured at room temperature for 10 minutes. All reaction wells were placed with a 2× substrate mixture (fluorogenic HDAC substrate) to initiate the reaction and then spun down. Culture was performed at 30° C. for 1 hour for HDAC6 and 2 hours for HDAC8.


Afterwards, a developer was added along with trichostatin A to halt the reaction and develop fluorescence. Dynamics measurements were performed with Envision (Ex/Em=360/460 nm) for 20 minutes with 5-minute intervals, and values from endpoint reading were taken for analysis after the phenomenon reached a plateau.
