In previous studies, our group designed and synthesized a series of novel chalcone based tubulin and histone deacetylase (HDAC) dual-targeting inhibitors. Among them, compound B8HA exhibited promising potency for the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer. In this work, we highlighted its biological evaluations in MDA-MB-231 and 4T1 cells. Methods The antitumor activities (including cell cycle arresting and apoptotic effects) and anti-metastasis activities of B8HA were evaluated in vitro . In addition, the potencies of B8HA as inhibitors of tubulin polymerase were also evaluated. Finally, in vivo antitumor and antiangiogenesis effects were explored in 4T1 mice model. Results Comparing to the classical HDAC inhibitor (HDACi) SAHA, B8HA has higher potency to induce apoptosis and inhibits the migratory and invasive abilities of tumor cells under the same dose in vitro and vivo . B8HA as tubulin inhibition is also able to inhibit the formation of capillary-like structures as well as to disrupt existing tubules. Conclusion These results indicated that compound B8HA is a potent inhibitor of both HDAC and tubulin, leading to excellent in vitro and in vivo antitumor activities.

Scheme.jpg Scheme The design strategy of novel tubulin and HDAC dual-targeting inhibitors. Compounds A and B are two combretastatin-like chalcones displaying potent microtubule-destabilizing activities via acting on the colchicine binding site. The hydrophobic structures make them possible to act as the “cap” part of HDAC inhibitor. We used hydroxamic acid as ZBG due to its high affinity to Zn 2+ .
