HDAC6 ligand-7

HDAC6 ligand-7 (Compound 16a) is a positron emission tomography (PET) tracer for the deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) enzyme with a Kd value of 1.66 nM. HDAC6 ligand-7 exhibits excellent HDAC6 inhibitory activity, with IC50 values of 2.7 and 3.7 nM for hHDAC6 and mHDAC6, respectively, and has high selectivity for HDAC1/4/7/8. HDAC6 ligand-7 after being radioactively labeled with fluorine-18, [¹⁸F]HDAC6 ligand-7 shows varying degrees of radioactive uptake in PET, which can reflect the specific binding to HDAC6. HDAC6 ligand-7 can be used for the study of HDAC6 imaging[1].
