The inhibition of HDAC (histone deacetylase) activity by specific inhibitors induces growth arrest, differentiation and apoptosis of transformed or several cancer cells. Some of these inhibitors are in clinical trial at phase I or phase II. The discovery and development of specific HDAC inhibitors are helpful for cancer therapy. In this paper we describe the synthesis of simple inhibitorBhybrid analogue suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), trapoxinB(TPX B) in as little as five steps. This compound is interesting lead for the design of potent inhibitors of histone deacetylase.

Genetic and epigenetic changes alter gene expression, contributing to cancer. Epigenetic changes in cancer arise from alterations in DNA and histone modifications that lead to tumour suppressor gene silencing and the activation of oncogenes. The acetylation status of histones and non-histone proteins are determined by the histone deacetylases and histone acetyltransferases that control gene transcription. Organoselenium compounds have become promising contenders in cancer therapeutics. Apart from their anti-oxidative effects, several natural and synthetic organoselenium compounds and metabolites act as histone deacetylase inhibitors, which influence the acetylation status of histones and non-histone proteins, altering gene transcription. This review aims to summarise the effect of natural and synthetic organoselenium compounds on histone and non-histone protein acetylation/deacetylation in cancer therapy.
