Santacruzamate A (CAY10683), a natural carbamate derivative, inhibits HDAC2 and HDAC6 with IC50 values of 0.119 and 434nM, respectively [1]. Santacruzamate A exhibits immunomodulatory and cell proliferation inhibitory activities and modulates the synaptic function in neurons by inhibiting microglial activation[2]. Santacruzamate A has been widely used in the development of a series of related derivatives aimed at inhibiting HDAC isoenzymes[3].
In vitro, Santacruzamate A treatment for 24 hours significantly inhibited the viability of NCM460 cells, with an IC50 value of 315.7nM[4]. Santacruzamate A treatment at 50µM for 6 hours inhibited the invasion and migration of NUCKS1-overexpressing colorectal cancer (CRC) cells, reduced the expression of HDAC2 protein without affecting the expression of NUCKS1 protein[5]. Treatment with 10µM Santacruzamate A for 24 hours significantly inhibited the cell viability of BV2 microglial cells, suppressed the expression of HDAC2 and increased the acetylation level of histone H3, accompanied by a decrease in the expression of IL-1β and TNF-α[6].
In vivo, Santacruzamate, administered via intraperitoneal injection (2mg/kg every other day) for 6 weeks, resulted in an increase in the expression of GLT-1, p-GluN2B and p-GluA1 in the hippocampal tissue of the mouse model of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), alleviating the depressive symptoms of the SAH mice[7]. Intravenous injection of Santacruzamate A (3mg/kg) every three days for 35 days inhibited the distant metastasis of the tumor in the xenograft mouse model of SW620 cells[8].

Santacruzamate A (CAY10683)是一种天然氨基甲酸酯衍生物,可抑制HDAC2和HDAC6活性,IC50值分别为0.119nM和434nM[1]。Santacruzamate A具有免疫调节和细胞增殖抑制活性,并通过抑制小胶质细胞活化调节神经元突触功能[2]。Santacruzamate A已被广泛作为先导化合物用于开发靶向HDAC同工酶的系列衍生物[3]。
在体外,Santacruzamate A处理24小时可显著抑制NCM460细胞活力,IC50值为315.7nM[4]。50µM的Santacruzamate A处理6小时能抑制NUCKS1过表达结直肠癌(CRC)细胞的侵袭和迁移,降低HDAC2蛋白表达且不影响NUCKS1蛋白水平[5]。10µM的Santacruzamate A处理BV2小胶质细胞24小时可显著抑制细胞活力,下调HDAC2表达并提高组蛋白H3乙酰化水平,同时降低IL-1β和TNF-α表达[6]。
在体内,蛛网膜下腔出血(SAH)小鼠模型隔日腹腔注射Santacruzamate A(2mg/kg;持续6周)可增加海马组织中GLT-1、p-GluN2B和p-GluA1表达,缓解小鼠抑郁症状[7]。SW620细胞异种移植瘤小鼠模型每三天静脉注射3mg/kg剂量的Santacruzamate A(持续35天)能抑制肿瘤远处转移[8]。
