Novel dual inhibitor targeting CDC25 and HDAC for treating triple-negative breast cancer.

ABSTRACT: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) presents a significant challenge for treatment due to its aggressive nature and the lack of effective therapies. This study developed dual inhibitors against cell division cycle 25 (CDC25) and histone deacetylases (HDACs) for TNBC treatment. CDC25 phosphatases are crucial for activating cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), the master regulators of cell cycle progression. HDACs regulate various biological processes by deacetylating histone and non-histone proteins, affecting gene expression, chromatin structure, cell differentiation, and proliferation. Dysregulations of HDAC and CDC25 are associated with several human malignancies. We generated a group of dual inhibitors for CDC25 and HDAC by combining the molecular structures of CDC25 (quinoline-5,8-dione)
