Abstract

We obtained 5 positive novel histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) from a polyoxometalate (POM) library by using a cell-based screening system targeting the p21 gene promoter. Among them, PAC-320, a new tri-organic-tin-substitute germanotungstate, displayed remarkable extracellular inhibitory activity. Meanwhile, the crystal structure of PAC-320 was characterized by X-ray crystallography. PAC-320 could stably exist under physiological conditions as revealed by UV spectrum, CV and TG. PAC-320 possessed a strong inhibitory effect to intracellular HDAC activity. More significantly, PAC-320 inhibited the growth of a variety of cancer cells, and exhibited remarkable anticancer effect in a hepatocarcinoma H22 cell mice model. This study revealed, for the first time, that the HDAC inhibitory activity is a mechanism by which POMs exert their anticancer effect.
