  1. Unbiased Ligand Discovery for Histone Deacetylases Using Small Molecule Microarrays Nicole M. Martinez, Summer Research, Chemical Biology Program

  2. HDACs Participate in Regulation of Gene Expression • Histone Deacetylases HDACs • Acetylation regulates gene expression • HAT transcription activation complex • HDAC transcription repression complex de Ruijter, A. J.; van Gennip, A. H.; Caron, H. N.; Kemp, S.; van Kuilenburg, A. B. Biochem. J. 2003, 370, 737-749.

  3. HDACs Impact Cancer Biology • gene expression • oncoprotein stability • cell migration • protein catabolism • cell cycle control http://targethdac.com

  4. HDACs and Cellular Functions Minucci, S.; Pelicci, P. G. Nat. Rev. Cancer. 2006, 6, 38-51.

  5. HDAC Inhibitors (HDACi) • Anti-cancer agents • Few HDACi are isoform selective • Allosteric inhibitors are highly desirable • Tools for assigning function to HDACs

  6. Existing HDACi Synthetics Natural Products

  7. Small-Molecule Microarrays (SMMs) print stocks onto functionalized slides DMSO stock solutions A647 α-GST GST HDAC protein-small molecule interaction on a microarray fluorescent features reveal putative binding interactions

  8. Biophysical Assays *10,800 compounds per library DIV: Diversity Oriented Synthesis Small Molecules library NPC: Natural Products and commercials (Including FDA approved drugs) library

  9. SMM Unbiased Approach Approach: • Small Molecule Microarrays to determine unbiased protein-ligand interactions Benefit: • High-throughput • Quick and cheap • Small amount of protein analyte

  12. Structures of Common HDAC Hits

  13. Common HDAC Biased Hits

  14. Structures of HDAC6 Specific Hits HDAC biased plates 2131-2134

  15. What Happens Next? • Screen with small molecule microarrays against the“Forma Collection” in order to find allosteric binders • Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) to evaluate binding kinetics • in vitro activity assays • Phenotypic assays
