Abstract: This invention pertains to certain active carbamic acid compounds which inhibit HDAC activity and which have the formula (1) wherein: A is an aryl group; Q1 is an aryl leader group having a backbone of at least 2 carbon atoms; J is an amide linkage selected from: —NR1C(?O)— and —C(?O)NR1—; R1 is an amido substituent; and, Q2 is an acid leader group; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, amides, esters, ethers, chemically protected forms, and prodrugs thereof. The present invention also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and the use of such compounds and compositions, both in vitro and in vivo, to inhibit HDAC, and, e.g.

Abstract: This invention pertains to certain carbamic acid compounds of the formula (I), which inhibit HDAC (histone deacetylase) activity: wherein: J is a linking functional group and is independently:—O —C(?O)— or —C(?O)—O — or —C(?O)—; Cy is a cyclyl group and is independently: C3-20carbocyclyl, C3-20heterocyclyl, or C5-20aryl; and is optionally substituted; Q1 is a cyclyl leader group, and is independently a divalent bidentate group obtained by removing two hydrogen atoms from a ring carbon atom of a saturated monocyclic hydrocarbon having from 4 to 7 ring atoms, or by removing two hydrogen atoms from a ring carbon atom of saturated monocyclic heterocyclic compound having from 4 to 7 ring atoms including 1 nitrogen ring atom or 1 oxygen ring atom; and is optionally substituted; Q2 is an acid leader group, and is independently: C1-8alkylene; and is optionally substituted; or: Q2 is an acid leader group, and is independently: C5-20arylene; C5-20arylene-C1-7alkylene; C1-7alkylene-C5-20arylene; or C1-7alkylene-C5-20ary

Abstract: This invention pertains to certain active carbamic acid compounds which inhibit HDAC activity and which have the formula (1) wherein: A is an aryl group; Q1 is an aryl leader group having a backbone of at least 2 carbon atoms; J is an amide linkage selected from: —NR1C(═O)—and —C(═O)NR1—; R1 is an amido substituent; and, Q2 is an acid leader group; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, amides, esters, ethers, chemically protected forms, and prodrugs thereof. The present invention also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and the use of such compounds and compositions, both in vitro and in vivo, to inhibit HDAC, and, e.g., to inhibit proliferative conditions, such as cancer and psoriasis.
