Lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) and Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are promising drug targets for cancers. Recent studies reveal an important functional interplay between LSD1 and HDACs, and there is evidence for the synergistic effect of combined LSD1 and HDAC inhibitors on cancers. Therefore, development of inhibitors targeting both LSD1 and HDACs might be a promising strategy for epigenetic therapy of cancers. We report herein the synthesis of a series of tranylcypromine (cas 155-09-9) derivatives as LSD1/HDACs dual inhibitors. Most compounds showed potent LSD1 and HDACs inhibitory activity, especially compound 7 displayed the most potent inhibitory activity against HDAC1 and HDAC2 with IC50 of 15 nM and 23 nM, as well as potent inhibition against LSD1 with IC50 of 1.20 μM. Compound 7 demonstrated stronger anti-proliferative activities than SAHA with IC50 values ranging from 0.81 to 4.28 μM against MGC-803, MCF-7, SW-620 and A-549 human cancer cell lines. Further mechanistic studies showed that compound 7 treatment in MGC-803 cells dose-dependently increased cellular H3K4 and H3K9 methylation, as well as H3 acetylation, decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential and induced remarkable apoptosis. Docking studies showed that compound 7 can be well docked into the active binding sites of LSD1 and HDAC2. This finding highlights the potential for the development of LSD1/HDACs dual inhibitors as novel anticancer drugs.
