Abstract

The regulation of chromatin structure and, therefore, transcriptional activity of histone proteins by reversible lysine acetylation is an important posttranslational modification. Inhibitors of histone deacetylase (HDAC) are considered as promising new anti-neoplastic drugs. The hydroxamic acid SAHA e. g. is currently used in the treatment of advanced primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. The EGFR protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor erlotinib is a prominent drug in cancer chemotherapy and currently approved for treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. In this report, we present a novel strategy for cancer drug development by a combination of EGFR/HER2 kinase and HDAC inhibitory activity in one molecule. By combining two distinct pharmacological properties in one molecule, we expect a broader activity spectrum and less likelihood of drug resistance in cancer patients. The combination led to substances with both HDAC inhibitory properties and EGFR as well as HER2 kinase inhibitory activities.
