N(1)-Hydroxy-N(8)-ferrocenyloctanediamide, JAHA (7), an organometallic analogue of SAHA containing a ferrocenyl group as a phenyl bioisostere, displays nanomolar inhibition of class I HDACs, excellent selectivity over class IIa HDACs, and anticancer action in intact cells (IC(50) = 2.4 μM, MCF7 cell line). Molecular docking studies of 7 in HDAC8 (a,b) suggested that the ferrocenyl moiety in 7 can overlap with the aryl cap of SAHA and should display similar HDAC inhibition, which was borne out in ...[more]
