Several lines of evidence indicate that histone acetyltransferases (HATs) are novel drug
targets for treatment of diseases like, for example, cancer and inflammation. The natural
product anacardic acid is a starting point for development of small molecule inhibitors of the
histone acetyltransferase (HAT) p300/CBP associated factor (PCAF). In order to optimize the
inhibitory potency, a binding model for PCAF inhibition by anacardic acid was proposed and
new anacardic acid derivatives were designed. Ten new derivatives were synthesized using …

In order to optimize the inhibitory potency, a binding model for PCAF inhibition by anacardic acid was proposed and new anacardic acid derivatives were designed. Ten new derivatives were synthesized using a novel synthetic route. One compound showed a twofold improved inhibitory potency for the PCAF HAT activity and a twofold improved inhibition of histone acetylation in HEP G2 cells.
