Abstract
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) regulate the expression and activity of many proteins in both cancer initiation and cancer progression. HDACs are now recognized as promising targets for anticancer agent development. HDAC inhibitors (HDACIs) are emerging as promising anticancer drugs which possess tumor-selective cytotoxicity. HDACIs could promote growth arrest, differentiation, and apoptosis of cancer cells, with minimal effects on normal tissue. Research of HDACIs is now becoming an interesting field. HDACIs comprise structurally diverse anticancer agents and have been widely used in the clinic. This review describes recent progress in the development of HDACIs, especially focusing on the design strategies, novel chemical structures, biological properties and structure-activity relationships (SARs) of HDACIs. We hope it will be helpful for medicinal chemists who are interested in the discovery of anticancer agents.

Bioprospecting of Natural Products as Sources of New Multitarget Therapies
According to the Convention on Biological Diversity, bioprospecting is the exploration of biodiversity and indigenous knowledge to develop commercially valuable products for pharmaceutical and other applications. Bioprospecting involves searching for useful organic compounds in plants, fungi, marine organisms, and microorganisms. Natural products traditionally constituted the primary source of more than ...read more
Drugs and mitochondria
Mitochondria play a central role in the life and death of cells. They are not merely the center for energy metabolism but are also the headquarters for different catabolic and anabolic processes, calcium fluxes, and various signaling pathways. Mitochondria maintain homeostasis in the cell by interacting with reactive oxygen-nitrogen species ...read more
Mitochondria as a Therapeutic Target in Metabolic Disorders
Mitochondria are the primary site of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production in mammalian cells. Moreover, these organelles are an important source of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in virtually any nucleated cell type. The modulation of a myriad of cellular signaling pathways depends on the mitochondrial physiology. Mitochondrial dysfunction is observed ...read more
