Abstract Histone deacetylases (HDACs), a critical family of epigenetic enzymes, has emerged as a promising target for antitumor drugs. Here, we describe our protocol of virtual screening in identification of novel potential HDAC inhibitors through pharmacophore modeling, 3D-QSAR, molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Considering the limitation of current virtual screening works, drug repurposing strategy was applied to discover druggable HDAC inhibitor. The ligand-based pharmacophore and 3D-QSAR models were established, and their reliability was validated by different methods. Then, the DrugBank database was screened, followed by molecular docking. MD simulation (100 ns) was performed to further study the stability of ligand binding modes. Finally, results indicated the hit DB03889 with high in silico inhibitory potency was suitable for further experimental analysis. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma
