SKLB-23bb, A HDAC6-Selective Inhibitor, Exhibits Superior and Broad-Spectrum Antitumor Activity via Additionally Targeting Microtubules

Our previous study reported that SKLB-23bb, an orally bioavailable HDAC6-selective inhibitor, exhibited superior antitumor efficiency both in vitro and in vivo in comparison with ACY1215, a HDAC6-selective inhibitor recently in phase II clinical trial. This study focused on the mechanism related to the activity of SKLB-23bb. We discovered that despite having HDAC6-selective inhibition equal to ACY1215, SKLB-23bb showed cytotoxic effects against a panel of solid and hematologic tumor cell lines at the low submicromolar level. Interestingly, in contrast to the reported HDAC6-selective inhibitors, SKLB-23bb was more efficient against solid tumor cells. Utilizing HDAC6 stably knockout cell lines constructed by CRISPR–Cas9 gene editing, we illustrated that SKLB-23bb could remain cytotoxic independent of HDAC6 status. Investigation of the mechanism confirmed that SKLB-23bb exerted its cytotoxic activity by additionally targeting microtubules. SKLB-23bb could bind to the colchicine site in β-tubulin and act as a microtubule polymerization inhibitor. Consistent with its microtubule-disrupting ability, SKLB-23bb also blocked tumor cell cycle at G2–M phase and triggered cellular apoptosis. In solid tumor xenografts, oral administration of SKLB-23bb efficiently inhibited tumor growth. These results suggested that SKLB-23bb was an orally bioavailable HDAC6 and microtubule dual targeting agent. The microtubule targeting profile enhanced the antitumor activity and expanded the antitumor spectrum of SKLB-23bb, thus breaking through the limitation of HDAC6 inhibitors.
