Abstract
The multifactorial nature of cancer requires treatment that involves simultaneous targeting of associated overexpressed proteins and cell signaling pathways, possibly leading to synergistic effects. Herein, we present a systematic study that involves the simultaneous inhibition of human topoisomerases (hTopos) and histone deacetylases (HDACs) by multitargeted quinoline-bridged hydroxamic acid derivatives. These compounds were rationally designed considering pharmacophoric features and catalytic sites of the cross-talk proteins, synthesized, and assessed for their anticancer potential. Our findings revealed that the compound 5c significantly produced anticancer effects in vitro and in vivo by reducing the tumor growth and its size in the A549 cell-induced lung cancer xenograft model through multiple mechanisms, primarily by multi-inhibition of hTopoI/II and HDACs, especially HDAC1 via atypical binding. The present paper discusses detailed mechanistic biological investigations, structure–activity effects supported by computational docking studies, and DMPK studies and provides future scope for lead optimization and modification.
