Abstract
HIV remains incurable due to the persistence of a latent viral reservoir found in HIV infected cells, primarily resting memory CD4+ T cells. Depletion of this reservoir may be the only way to end this deadly epidemic. In latency, the integrated proviral DNA of HIV is transcriptionally silenced partly due to the activity of histone deacetylases (HDACs). One strategy proposed to overcome this challenge, is the use of HDAC inhibitors as latency reversal agents to induce viral expression (shock) under the cover of antiretroviral therapy (ART). It is hoped that this will lead to elimination of the reservoir by immunologic and viral cytopathic (kill). However, there are 18 isoforms of HDACs leading to varying selectivity for HDAC inhibitors. Here we review HDAC inhibitors with emphasis on their selectivity for HIV latency reversal.

Abstract
The elevated expression of histone deacetylases (HDACs) in various tumor types renders their inhibition an attractive strategy for epigenetic therapeutics. One key issue in the development of improved HDAC inhibitors (HDACis) is the selectivity for single HDAC isoforms over unspecific pan inhibition to minimize off-target toxicity. Utilizing the carborane moiety as a fine-tuning pharmacophore, we herein present a robust solid phase synthetic approach towards tailor-made HDACis meeting both ends of the selectivity spectrum, namely pan inhibition and highly selective HDAC6 inhibition.

Abstract
In this work three novel series of c-Met/HDAC bifunctional inhibitors were designed and synthesized by merging pharmacophores of c-Met and HDAC inhibitors. The most potent compound 11j inhibited c-Met kinase and HDAC1 with IC50 values of 21.44 and 45.22 nM, respectively. In addition, 11j showed efficient antiproliferative activities against both MCF-7 and A549 cells with greater potency than the reference drug SAHA and Cabozantinib. This work may lay the foundation for developing novel dual c-Met/HDAC inhibitors as potential anticancer therapeutics.

Abstract
Herein a novel series of pazopanib hybrids as polypharmacological antitumor agents were developed based on the crosstalk between histone deacetylases (HDACs) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway. Among them, one ortho-aminoanilide 6d and one hydroxamic acid 13f exhibited considerable total HDACs and VEGFR-2 inhibitory activities. The HDAC inhibitory activities endowed 6d and 13f with potent antiproliferative activities, which was not observed in the approved VEGFR inhibitor pazopanib. Compounds 6d and 13f possessed comparable HDAC isoform selectivity profiles to the clinical class I HDAC inhibitor MS-275 and the approved pan-HDAC inhibitor SAHA, respectively. 6d and 13f also exhibited uncompromised multiple tyrosine kinases inhibitory activities relative to pazopanib. The intracellular dual inhibition to HDAC and VEGFR of 6d and 13f was validated by Western blot analysis. In both HUVECs tube formation assay and rat thoracic aorta rings assay, 6d and 13f showed comparable antiangiogenic potencies to pazopanib. What's more, 6d possessed desirable pharmacokinetic profiles with the oral bioavailability of 72% in SD rats and considerable in vivo antitumor efficacy in a human colorectal adenocarcinoma (HT-29) xenograft model.

Abstract
Dry eye disease (DED), also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca, is an ocular surface disease characterized by T-cell-mediated inflammation. Current therapeutics, such as immunosuppressive agents, act to suppress the clinical signs and inflammation. However, long-term usage of these treatments can cause severe side effects. In this study, we present an alternative therapeutic approach that utilizes a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) to regulate transcription of a variety of immunomodulatory genes. Specifically, HDACi have emerged as a potential anti-inflammatory agent, which can modulate the functions of a subset of suppressive T lymphocytes known as regulatory T cells (Tregs), enhancing FoxP3 acetylation and subsequently guarding the transcription factor from proteasomal degradation. Here, a specific HDACi known as SAHA (suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid) was formulated to controllably release in the lacrimal gland. Intralacrimal gland injection of PLGA-based SAHA microspheres prevented clinical signs of DED in mice with Concanavalin A-induced DED, reduced expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and increased expression of FoxP3 in the lacrimal glands. Murine T cell culture experiments also revealed that SAHA decreased effector T cell proliferation and enhanced suppressive function of Tregs in co-cultures of Tregs and effector T cells. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE In this study, we demonstrate a therapeutic approach that utilizes a histone deactylase inhibitor (HDACi) to regulate transcription of a variety of immunomodulatory genes. HDACi have emerged as a potential anti-inflammatory agent, which can modulate the functions of a subset of suppressive T lymphocytes known as regulatory T cells (Tregs). Here, HDACi microspheres composed of a biocompatible and biodegradable polymer (poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)), were able to locally release the HDACi and prevent clinical signs of DED. This work is timely given the recent shift in treatments of DED towards immunological based therapies to reduce ocular inflammation. However, notably, many of these treatments require large amounts of drug, and non-specifically suppress the immune system, leading to several systemic side effects. Instead of merely suppressing or blocking inflammation, the formulation described herein intends to balance the microenvironment promoting immunological homeostasis. This particular drug delivery system may also have broad implications in the field of inflammatory mediated ocular disorders such as uveitis, Sjögren's syndrome, allergic conjunctivitis.

Abstract
In this work, we report the multicomponent synthesis of a focused histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor library with peptoid-based cap groups and different zinc-binding groups. All synthesized compounds were tested in a cellular HDAC inhibition assay and an MTT assay for cytotoxicity. On the basis of their noteworthy activity in the cellular HDAC assays, four compounds were further screened for their inhibitory activity against recombinant HDAC1-3, HDAC6, and HDAC8. All four compounds showed potent inhibition of HDAC1-3 as well as significant inhibition of HDAC6 with IC50 values in the submicromolar concentration range. Compound 4j, the most potent HDAC inhibitor in the cellular HDAC assay, revealed remarkable chemosensitizing properties and enhanced the cisplatin sensitivity of the cisplatin-resistant head-neck cancer cell line Cal27CisR by almost 7-fold. Furthermore, 4j almost completely reversed the cisplatin resistance in Cal27CisR. This effect is related to a synergistic induction of apoptosis as seen in the combination of 4j with cisplatin.

Abstract
Prostate cancer cells overexpress the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) receptors on the surface. Targeting the PSMA receptor creates a unique opportunity for drug delivery. Docetaxel is a Food and Drug Administration-approved drug for treating metastatic and androgen-independent prostate cancer, and mocetinostat is a potent inhibitor of class I histone deacetylases. In this study, we prepared reduction-sensitive polymersomes presenting folic acid on the surface and encapsulating either docetaxel or mocetinostat. The presence of folic acid allowed efficient targeting of the PSMA receptor and subsequent internalization of the polymeric vesicles in cultured LNCaP prostate cancer cell spheroids. The intracellular reducing agents efficiently released docetaxel and mocetinostat from the polymersomes. The combination of the two drug-encapsulated polymersome formulations significantly (p < 0.05) decreased the viability of the LNCaP cells (compared to free drugs or control) in three-dimensional spheroid cultures. The calculated combination index value indicated a synergistic effect for the combination of mocetinostat and docetaxel. Thus, our PSMA-targeted drug-encapsulated polymersomes has the potential to lead to a new direction in prostate cancer therapy that decreases the toxicity and increases the efficacy of the drug delivery systems.
