Abstract

Both Src homology-2 domain-containing phosphatase 2 (SHP2) and histone deacetylase (HDAC) are important oncoproteins and potential immunomodulators. In this study, we first observed a synergistic antiproliferation effect of an allosteric SHP2 inhibitor (SHP099) and HDAC inhibitor (SAHA) in MV4-11 cells. Inspired by this result, a series of SHP2/HDAC dual inhibitors were designed based on the pharmacophore fusion strategy. Among these inhibitors, the most potent compound <b>8t</b> showed excellent inhibitory activities against SHP2 (IC<sub>50</sub> = 20.4 nM) and HDAC1 (IC<sub>50</sub> = 25.3 nM). In particular, compound <b>8t</b> exhibited improved antitumor activities compared with those of SHP099 and SAHA in vitro and in vivo. Our study also indicated that treatment with <b>8t</b> could trigger efficient antitumor immunity by activating T cells, enhancing the antigen presentation function and promoting cytokine secretion. To our knowledge, we report the first small molecular SHP2/HDAC dual inhibitor and demonstrate a new strategy for cancer immunotherapy.
