Abstract

The total synthesis of largazole and four analogues is reported. All analogues were nanomolar HDAC inhibitors. The antiproliferative activity is driven by lipophilicity and cell permeability. In murine liver homogenates, largazole is rapidly metabolized (half-life ≤5 min) to the thiol which has a half-life of 51 min.
