CHEMBL3705576

Enzymatic Assay: Hydroxamic acid is a well know metal-chelating agent, especially for Zn atom. The hydroxamic acid moiety has been demonstrated as the key structural element in many highly potent and selective inhibitors against a variety of metalloenzymes, such as matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), tumor necrosis factor-alpha converting enzyme (TACE), Histone Deacetylase (HDAC), Peptidyl deformylase (PDF), A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase (ADAM), UDP-3-O[R-3-hydroxymyristoyl]-GlcNAc deacetylase, Clostridium Histolytium Collagenase (ChC), Procollagen C-Proteinase (PCP), and Aggrecanase. Many of these metalloenzymes are well known important disease target, such as HDAC and MMP. All hydroxamic acid compounds exemplified in the application have been tested against one or multiple metalloenzymes. The following protocol is used to assay the compounds of the invention against the HDAC enzymes.The buffer used in this assay is 25 mM HEPES, pH 8.0, 137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl2 and the substrate is Boc.
