Abstract

Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors as an important epigenetic therapeutic strategy affect signaling networks and act synergistically with kinase inhibitors for the treatment of Cancer. Herein we presented a series of novel phenoxybenzamide analogues with inhibition of Raf and HDAC. Among them, compound 10e showed potent antiproliferative activities against Hepg2 and MDA-MB-468 in cellular assays. This work may lay the foundation for developing novel dual Raf/HDAC inhibitors as potential Anticancer therapeutics.
