Abstract

Concurrent inhibition of Janus kinase (JAK) and histone deacetylase (HDAC) could potentially improve the efficacy of the HDAC inhibitors in the treatment of cancers and resolve the problem of HDAC inhibitor resistance in some tumors. Here, a novel series of pyrimidin-2-amino-pyrazol hydroxamate derivatives as JAK and HDAC dual inhibitors was designed, synthesized, and evaluated, among which 8m possessed potent and balanced activities against both JAK2 and HDAC6 with half-maximal inhibitory concentration at the nanomolar level. 8m exhibited improved antiproliferative and proapoptotic activities over SAHA and ruxolitinib in several hematological cell lines. Remarkably, 8m exhibited more potent antiproliferation effect than the combination of SAHA and ruxolitinib in HEL cells bearing JAK2<sup>V617F</sup> mutation. Pharmacokinetic studies in mice showed that 8m possessed good bioavailability after intraperitoneal administration. Finally, 8m showed antitumor efficacy with no significant toxicity in a HEL xenograft model. Collectively, the results confirm the therapeutic potential of JAK and HDAC dual inhibitors in hematological malignancies and provide valuable leads for further structural optimization and antitumor mechanism study.
