Rational design and diversity-oriented synthesis of peptoid-based selective HDAC6 inhibitors

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

A mini library of HDAC inhibitors with peptoid-based cap groups was synthesized using an efficient multicomponent approach. Four compounds were identified as potent HDAC6 inhibitors with a selectivity over other HDAC isoforms. The most potent HDAC6 inhibitor revealed remarkable chemosensitizing properties and completely reverted the cisplatin resistance in Cal27 CisR cells.
