•SK-658 analogs having thioester and SS-hybrid groups were synthesized.•All the compounds were active in nano molar range.•Disulfide compounds displayed impressive HDAC inhibitory activity.•Easy synthesis and excellent activity make them to be potential drug candidates.
SK-658 is a potent histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor that showed higher activity than SAHA due to the presence of extended hydrophobic group. We designed and synthesized thioester and SS-hybrid bearing SK-658 analogs as HDAC inhibitors. All the compounds were active in nano molar range and showed higher inhibitory activity than SAHA and SK-658. Among these, disulfide compounds showed the highest activity.
