Inspired by the synergistic effect of BTSA1 (a Bax activator) and SAHA (a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor) in HeLa cell growth suppression, a series of novel HDAC-Bax multiple ligands were designed rationally. Compound 23, which possesses similar HDAC inhibitory activity relative to SAHA and Bax affinity comparable to BTSA1, exhibits a superior growth suppression against HeLa cells, and its antiproliferative activities are 15-fold and 3-fold higher than BTSA1 and SAHA, respectively. The better antiproliferative activity and lower cytotoxicity of compound 23 indicated that our HDAC-Bax multiple ligand design strategy achieved success. Further studies suggested that compound 23 could enhance Bax-dependent apoptosis by upregulating Bax, followed by inducing the conformational activation of Bax. To our knowledge, we first report HDAC-Bax multiple ligands and demonstrate a new paradigm for the treatment of solid tumors by enhancing Bax-dependent apoptosis.
