Abstract
The
multicomponent synthesis of a mini-library of histone deacetylase
inhibitors with imidazo[1,2-<i>a</i>]pyridine-based cap
groups is presented. The biological evaluation led to the discovery
of the hit compound MAIP-032 as a selective HDAC6 inhibitor with promising
anticancer activity. The X-ray structure of catalytic domain 2 from Danio rerio HDAC6 complexed with MAIP-032 revealed
a monodentate zinc-binding mode
