Discovery of novel cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) and histone deacetylase (HDAC) dual inhibitors with potent in vitro and in vivo anticancer activity

In the current study, we reported a series of novel 1-H-pyrazole-3-carboxamide-based inhibitors targeting histone deacetylase (HDAC) and cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK). The representative compounds N-(4-((2-aminophenyl)carbamoyl)benzyl)-4-(2,6-dichlorobenzamido)-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxamide (7c) and N-(4-(2-((2-aminophenyl)amino)-2-oxoethyl)phenyl)-4-(2,6-dichlorobenzamido)-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxamide (14a) with potent antiproliferative activities...
