  • Example 1 synthesis as described in scheme 2(A) and (C)
  • Step2 The above obtained intermediate (16.46g, 63.53 mmols) was combined with abs.ethanol (50OmIs) and the mixture heated 78 0 C.
  • Sodium dithionite 52g, ca.85%, techn. grade, 253.99 mmols, 4 mole equivalents
  • a further aliquot of ethanol (100 mis) was then added to re-dissolve any remaining substrate and the final mixture was kept at 78 0 C for 1 hr. After cooling back to room temperature, the mixture was filtered off from insoluble inorganic material which was washed with ethanol (2x150 mis).
  • the combined filtrates were filtered again to remove further precipitated inorganic material.
  • the operation was repeated once more with washing of the combined insoluble fractions with further ethanol (300 mis) and filtering a third time the combined filtrate to remove any further precipitated inorganic material.
  • the final combined filtrate was stripped of ethanol under reduced pressure to give a slurry of the desired product which was taken up in water (140 mis). This slurry of the product was finally filtered off to give after drying by suction 11.06g (76% yield) of the desired amine as a mustard yellow solid.
  • Step 4 N-alkylation of 5,10-Dihydro-dibenzo[b,e][1 ,4]diazepin-11-one (500mg, 2.37 mmols) with excess NaH (60% disperion in mineral oil) and Methyl 6- bromohexanoate (0.496g, 2.37 mmols) in DMF at room temparature for 36 hrs (55% conversion to product) then with addition of further portions of sodium hydride (43mg then 16mg), gave according to analytical HPLC of the isolated crude product ca.89% conversion of the precursor to the desired N-hexyl carboxylate derivative.
  • the product was isolated and treated with methanol (10mls)/thionyl chloride (O. ⁇ mls) to methylate the carboxylic acid side product which formed during the N-alkylation step. This gave on isolation 790mg (98.5% yield) of the desired dibenzo diazepinyl methyl hexanoate ester derivative as a dark brown oil.
  • the above obtained intermediate was used directly for the conversion of the methyl ester to the hydroxamide by treatment of a methanolic solution of the substrate with hydroxylamine ( prepared in-situ by liberation of the hydroxylamine hydrochloride with freshly prepared sodium methoxide in dry methanol). Yield: 105 mg (53%) of the desired hydroxamic acid.
  • the final product was purified further by preparative HPLC by dissolving in MeCN/H2O+0.1% TFA (1/1 , v/v, 5mls) and injecting in 2x2.50ml aliquots directly onto the ShimadzuTM preparative HPLC system using the column SymmetryTM (C18,7mm,3O ⁇ A, 19x 300 mm) and eluting according to the method
  • Example 8 6-(5,5,11-TrJOXO-S, 11 -dihydro-5X 6 -dibenzo[ft, ⁇ [1 ,4]thiazepin-10-yl)- hexanoic acid hydroxyamide
  • Step 2 The sulphone intermediate (462 mg, 1.19 mmols) was dissolved in methanol (35mls) and to the solution was added hydroxylamine hydrochloride (858mg, 12.35mmols). The solution was cooled to 0 0 C in an ice-water bath and then treated with freshly prepared sodium methoxide (770mg sodium, 33.50mmols, in 15mls of dry methanol). After stirring for 10 minutes the ice-bath was removed and the reaction continued for another 3 hours at room temperature. The reaction was then quenched by addition of water (25mls) and the methanol removed by evaporation under reduced pressure.

  • Example 12 6-(11-Oxo-11H-dibenzo[£>,/][1 ,4]oxazepin-10-yl)-hexanoic acid hydroxyamide
  • Steps 1&2 The dibenzo fused tricyclic azoxy intermediate, 2- nitrobenzo[b,/][1 ,4]oxazepin-11(10H)-one was prepared in two steps following the procedure described in the literature for the 7-Me substituted analogue reported by Klunder et al. ,J. Med. Chem., 1992, 35, 1887-1897.
  • the first step involved the coupling of 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzoyl chloride with 2-aminophenol in THF in the presence of diisopropyl ethylamine with stirring at room temperature for 48 hrs. This gave the carboxamide intermediate in 92% yield.
  • the carboxamide intermediate was then suspended in water and treated with 2N aq. sodium hydroxide. Refluxing for a total of 10hrs gave the closed-ring product as 85% yield after filtration of the solid material and drying by suction.
  • Step 4 DMF (15mls) was heated in an oil bath to 50 0 C and to this was added t- Butyl nitrite (0.98mls, 7.47 mmols). The amine (1g, 3.90mmols) in DMF (1OmIs) was added dropwise to the solution of t-Butyl nitrite at such a rate that the internal temperature did not exceed 50 0 C. After the addition of the substrate was completed, the mixture was kept at the same temperature for another 40 minutes. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered through a sintered glass funnel. The filtrate was added dropwise to a mixture of water/cone. HCI (30ml+30ml) whereupon the product precipitated out.

  • Step 1 A suspension obtained with 108 mg (1 eq., 1 mmol) of o- phenylenediamine and 157 mg (1 eq., 1 mmol) of 2-chloro-nicotinic acid in diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, are heated to 150°C for 6 hours. The suspension is allowed to return to ambient temperature and then the entirety is poured onto water cooled to 0°C. It is stirred for 20 minutes then the brownish precipitate formed is filtered off through a porous septum and left to dry in the air on filter paper. 115 g of a solid are thus obtained (Yield 54%).

STATE OF THE ART
Histone deacetylase is known to have an essential role in the mechanism that regulates gene expression. Inhibitors of histone deacetylase (HDAC) induce hyperacetylation of histones, with consequent alteration of gene expression itself. It follows that said inhibitors are useful as therapeutic or prophylactic agents for pathological states caused by abnormal gene expression, such as inflammatory disorders, diabetes, complications of diabetes, homozygotic thalassaemia, fibrosis, cirrhosis, acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL), transplant rejection, autoimmune diseases, protozoan infections, tumors and the like. The enzyme histone deacetylase is already well known and, via X-ray and SAR studies of various inhibitor classes, the structural characteristics that a potential inhibitor should possess have been elucidated; in particular a) a domain able to bind a metal (specifically Zn), b) a linker able to occupy a channel of the enzyme, c) a surface recognition domain that interacts with the structures on the rim of the enzyme active site (J. Med . Chem., 2003, 46(24), 5097-5116). In the last few years many examples of HDAC inhibitors with the aforesaid structural characteristics have become apparent.
For example, compounds that present a N-hydroxyamide and a linear linker are described in: Bioorganic & Medicinal Chem Letters (2002 ), 12, 2919-2923 ; J Med Chem (2002) 45 (13), 2877-2885 ; J Med Chem (2002), 45 (4), 753-757; Bioorganic & Medicinal Chem Letters (2004), 14, 449-453. Other publications demonstrate hydroxamic acids in which the linker is not linear; in Bioorganic & Medicinal Chem Letters (2001), 11 , 2847-2890 the linker is represented by a phenyi-ethyl or a styrγl, in Bioorganic & Medicinal Chem Letters (2002), 12, 1347- 1349 the linker is a phenyl or a cyclohexyl; the compounds described in WO2004013130 present a linker consisting of a thiophene. Other authors have shown the possibility of substituting hydroxamic acid with other groups able to bind the metal of the enzyme active site, for example with amides (J.Med Chem (2003), 46, 820-830; or in EP847992) or electrophile ketones. WO2004069133 describes compounds in which, based on the aforementioned scheme, the metal binding group is represented by a phenylendiamine amide, and the linker by a heterocycle chosen from indole, benzothiophene or benzofuran. WO02/085883 describes hydroxamate alkyls ω-substituted with tricyclic groups. Generally claimed therein are hydroxamates where the tricyclic group is represented by 6-5-6 or 6-7-6 systems in which the two 6-membered rings are always phenyl rings. Of the compounds prepared and described in the examples, only one compound with a 6-7-6 type tricyclic group is actually noted, presenting an oxepinone as the 7-membered central group; furthermore this compound has an inhibitory activity at 10 nm equal to 62% proving to be definitely the lowest of all the compounds assayed.
Notwithstanding all that is already known on the subject, there is still however a great need to identify new HDAC inhibitors that allow us to prepare new drugs for the treatment of the many pathologies that are potentially curable via this mechanism of action. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Some non-limiting examples of the present invention are described hereinafter:
Example 1 : synthesis as described in scheme 2(A) and (C)
6-(11-Oxo-5,11-dihydro-dibenzo[b,e][1 ,4]diazepin-10-yl)-hexanoic acid hydroxyamide
Stepi Anthranilic acid (1Og, 72.20 mmols) was combined with amyl alcohol
(10OmIs) and the mixture heated with stirring in an oil bath to 140 0C. During the heating to this temperature, o-Bromo nitrobenzene (12.89g, 64.40 mmols) was added followed by potassium carbonate (9g, 65 mmols) and finally copper powder (0.4g, 6.29 x10-3 mols). After heating the mixture for less than 30 minutes at 140 0C, a solid mass precipitated out making the mixture unstirrable. The solid mass was kept at this temperature for another 3 hours and then cooled to room temperature. The solid mass was transferred to a sintered glass funnel with help of diethyl ether (10OmIs) to break up the solid mass. The solid was washed with further ether (3x100 mis) and dried by suction. The brick red solid was then dissolved in water (ca.50OmIs) and the resulting red solution filtered off from the catalyst. The filtrate was transferred back to a 1 L beaker and acidified with cone. HCI (5OmIs). The resulting bright orange precipitate of the product was filtered off and dried by suction overnight. Yield 15.82g (96%) of the coupling product. HPLC (A) = 4.03' ; MS: [lces+] MH+259.0
Step2 : The above obtained intermediate (16.46g, 63.53 mmols) was combined with abs.ethanol (50OmIs) and the mixture heated 78 0C. Sodium dithionite (52g, ca.85%, techn. grade, 253.99 mmols, 4 mole equivalents) was dissolved in water (230 mis) and added dropwise to the hot ethanolic solution of the substrate. A further aliquot of ethanol (100 mis) was then added to re-dissolve any remaining substrate and the final mixture was kept at 78 0C for 1 hr. After cooling back to room temperature, the mixture was filtered off from insoluble inorganic material which was washed with ethanol (2x150 mis). The combined filtrates were filtered again to remove further precipitated inorganic material. The operation was repeated once more with washing of the combined insoluble fractions with further ethanol (300 mis) and filtering a third time the combined filtrate to remove any further precipitated inorganic material. The final combined filtrate was stripped of ethanol under reduced pressure to give a slurry of the desired product which was taken up in water (140 mis). This slurry of the product was finally filtered off to give after drying by suction 11.06g (76% yield) of the desired amine as a mustard yellow solid. HPLC: t =2.85'.; MS[lces+] MH+= 229.0 Step 3 The 2-(2-Amino-phenylamino)-benzoic acid (2.5Og, 10.96 mmols) was suspended in acetonitrile (20OmIs) and HOBt (4.4Og, 32.90 mmols) was added. After stirring for 10 minutes, EDCHCI (3.1Og, 16.12 mmols) was added where it was noticed on addition of the coupling reagent that there was an intensification in the colour of the reaction mixture to a golden yellow together with a dissolution of the suspension. The mixture left to stir for 3 hrs. after which the acetonitrile was removed under reduced pressure. To the residue was added ethyl acetate (20OmIs) followed by 10% aq. citric acid solution (10OmIs). The two phases were vigorously agitated together in the reaction flask and then separated. The aqueous fraction was extracted with further ethyl acetate (20OmIs). The combined ethyl acetate extracts were washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (20OmIs) and dried over sodium sulphate. Removal of solvent under reduced pressure gave 2.12g (92% yield) of 5,10-Dihydro-dibenzo[b,e][1 ,4]diazepin-11-one as a yellow solid.
HPLC (A): 3.09'; MS[lces+] MH+= 211.3
Step 4: N-alkylation of 5,10-Dihydro-dibenzo[b,e][1 ,4]diazepin-11-one (500mg, 2.37 mmols) with excess NaH (60% disperion in mineral oil) and Methyl 6- bromohexanoate (0.496g, 2.37 mmols) in DMF at room temparature for 36 hrs (55% conversion to product) then with addition of further portions of sodium hydride (43mg then 16mg), gave according to analytical HPLC of the isolated crude product ca.89% conversion of the precursor to the desired N-hexyl carboxylate derivative. The product was isolated and treated with methanol (10mls)/thionyl chloride (O.δmls) to methylate the carboxylic acid side product which formed during the N-alkylation step. This gave on isolation 790mg (98.5% yield) of the desired dibenzo diazepinyl methyl hexanoate ester derivative as a dark brown oil. The above obtained intermediate was used directly for the conversion of the methyl ester to the hydroxamide by treatment of a methanolic solution of the substrate with hydroxylamine ( prepared in-situ by liberation of the hydroxylamine hydrochloride with freshly prepared sodium methoxide in dry methanol). Yield: 105 mg (53%) of the desired hydroxamic acid. The final product was purified further by preparative HPLC by dissolving in MeCN/H2O+0.1% TFA (1/1 , v/v, 5mls) and injecting in 2x2.50ml aliquots directly onto the ShimadzuTM preparative HPLC system using the column Symmetry™ (C18,7mm,3OθA, 19x 300 mm) and eluting according to the method
H2O+0.1%TFA/ MeCN+0.1% TFA1 70/30->10/90 in 60', Φ=20 ml/min, λ=220, 254 nm. Fraction volumes: 10 mis. Observed elution time for the above product 22.39-
25.76". This gave after collection and lyophilization of the fractions, 84.70mg of 6-(11-
Oxo-5,11-dihydro-dibenzo[b,e][1 ,4]diazepin-10-yl)-hexanoic acid hydroxyamide
(>95 % titre by HPLC).

Example 8 : 6-(5,5,11-TrJOXO-S, 11 -dihydro-5X6-dibenzo[ft,^[1 ,4]thiazepin-10-yl)- hexanoic acid hydroxyamide
The 6-(5,5,11-Trioxo-5,11-dihydro-5λ6-dibenzo[it))f|[1 ,4]thiazepin-10-yl)-hexanoic acid methyl ester (500mg, 1.41mmols), obtained as described in example 1 , was dissolved in methanol (32mls) and the solution treated with OxoneTM (0.97g, 2.83mmols) dissolved in water (16 mis). The mixture was stirred initially for 48 hours at room temperature with addition of another equivalent of the oxidizing agent (0.4Og) after 24 hours. However the reaction as indicated by analytical HPLC stopped mostly at sulphoxide (t=3.90') stage with only 28% conversion further onto the sulphone product (t=4.15'). The mixture was then heated at 50 0C with addition of further oxone (0.4Og) after 7hrs and the reaction continued overnight at the same temperature. The heating of the reaction was continued the following day with addition of further portions of oxone (2x0.40g), then interrupted over the weekend period. The heating of the reaction mixture at 50 0C was then continued again for another 24 hours until 94% conversion of the sulphoxide to the sulphone was reached. The mixture was worked up by addition of water and removal of methanol under reduced pressure. The product was extracted with ethyl acetate (2x50mls) and the combined organic extracts dried over sodium sulphate. Removal of solvent under reduced pressure gave 480mg of a pale yellow oil. This material was treated with methanol (5OmIs) and 4N HCI in dioxane (1OmIs) and the solution stirred for 3 hours at room temperature. This converted the acid by-product present in the original reaction mixture (t=3.53') back to the desired methyl ester product. The mixture was stripped of methanol under reduced pressure, the residue taken up in ethyl acetate (5OmIs) and the solution washed with water (5OmIs). The organic fraction was dried over sodium sulphate and solvent removed under reduced pressure to give 0.462g (85% yield) of the desired product as a yellow oil which rapidly turned on standing to a waxy solid. HPLC (A): 4.16'; MS[lces+] MH+= 388.1
Step 2: The sulphone intermediate (462 mg, 1.19 mmols) was dissolved in methanol (35mls) and to the solution was added hydroxylamine hydrochloride (858mg, 12.35mmols). The solution was cooled to 0 0C in an ice-water bath and then treated with freshly prepared sodium methoxide (770mg sodium, 33.50mmols, in 15mls of dry methanol). After stirring for 10 minutes the ice-bath was removed and the reaction continued for another 3 hours at room temperature. The reaction was then quenched by addition of water (25mls) and the methanol removed by evaporation under reduced pressure. The aqueous residue was diluted with further water and neutralized by addition of 1 M aq.HCI (5OmIs). The precipitated product extracted with ethyl acetate (2x50mls) and the combined extract washed with water (25mls). Drying over sodium sulphate and removal of solvent under reduced pressure gave 355mg of the crude hydroxamic acid product. A third extraction of the aqueous washings with ethyl acetate increased the amount of product obtained to 386mg (83% yield). HPLC (A): 3.06' ; MS[lces+] MH+= 389.1

Example 12 : 6-(11-Oxo-11H-dibenzo[£>,/][1 ,4]oxazepin-10-yl)-hexanoic acid hydroxyamide
Steps 1&2: The dibenzo fused tricyclic azoxy intermediate, 2- nitrobenzo[b,/][1 ,4]oxazepin-11(10H)-one was prepared in two steps following the procedure described in the literature for the 7-Me substituted analogue reported by Klunder et al. ,J. Med. Chem., 1992, 35, 1887-1897. The first step involved the coupling of 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzoyl chloride with 2-aminophenol in THF in the presence of diisopropyl ethylamine with stirring at room temperature for 48 hrs. This gave the carboxamide intermediate in 92% yield. Analytical HPLC (A) t =3.58'.; MS[lces+] MH+= 293.0
In the next step, the carboxamide intermediate was then suspended in water and treated with 2N aq. sodium hydroxide. Refluxing for a total of 10hrs gave the closed-ring product as 85% yield after filtration of the solid material and drying by suction.
HPLC =3.66'.: MS[lces+] MH+= 257.2
Step 3: 2-nitrobenzo[b,f][1 ,4]oxazepin-11(10H)-one (2.0Og, 7.81mmols) was suspended in water and abs. ethanol (25mls+25mls) and the suspension treated with elemental iron (0.36g, 6.42 mmols) and iron (III) chloride (65 mg, 0.4 mmols). The suspension was refluxed for a total of 2.5hrs. A further portion of iron (0.33g) was added at 30 minutes and then again at 1 hour to the refluxing mixture. The mixture was then poured into excess ethanol and filtered off from the iron residues. The filtrate was stripped of ethanol under reduced pressure and the residue taken up in an excess volume of water. The product was filtered off and dried by suction. This gave 1.66g (94% yield) of the amine as a light brick coloured solid. HPLC (A) =2.19' ; MS [lces+] MH+= 227.2
Step 4: DMF (15mls) was heated in an oil bath to 50 0C and to this was added t- Butyl nitrite (0.98mls, 7.47 mmols). The amine (1g, 3.90mmols) in DMF (1OmIs) was added dropwise to the solution of t-Butyl nitrite at such a rate that the internal temperature did not exceed 50 0C. After the addition of the substrate was completed, the mixture was kept at the same temperature for another 40 minutes. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered through a sintered glass funnel. The filtrate was added dropwise to a mixture of water/cone. HCI (30ml+30ml) whereupon the product precipitated out. Further water (14OmIs) was added and the mixture left to stir for 1 hr. The product was filtered off by suction and dried. Further product was obtained by extraction of the aqueous filtrate with ethyl acetate (2x50mls). The ethyl acetate fraction was dried over sodium sulphate and solvent removed under reduced pressure to give solid residue which was treated with petroleum ether (40-60), the solid filtered off by suction and combined with the first crop of product. Further washing with petroleum ether of the combined crop of product and drying by suction gave 0.68g (73% yield) of the dibenzo-oxazepinone as a buff coloured solid.

After decomposing an aliquot of the reaction mixture and extracting with dichloromethane, GC-Mass analysis is undertaken, showing 74% of product and 14% of unreacted initial substance. The reaction is then stopped by pouring it carefully onto ice, extracting with dichloromethane, washing with brine, drying on a phase separator and evaporating to dryness. 9.17 g of a semi-solid product is obtained and used as such for the subsequent synthesis.
Step 2: Synthesis of 3-Nitro-6,11-dihydro-dibenzo[c,f][1 ,2]thiazepine 5,5-dioxide Orthophenylenediamine (44.4 mmols, 4.8 g) is suspended in pyridine (20 ml) then sulphur chloride is slowly added to this suspension, finally resuspending in pyridine to remove it from the flask. As the reaction is exothermic it is cooled in a water bath. After addition is complete the suspension is refluxed for 1.5 h. HPLC monitoring shows the disappearance of the sulphur chloride and formation of the product. The reaction mixture is evaporated to dryness and the residue is treated with 1N HCI to pH 1 , extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with brine and dried over MgSO4. By evaporation of the solvent a residue is obtained which solidifies on treatment with ethyl ether and is then filtered off and washed with ether. 4.35 g of 3-nitro-6,11-dihydro-dibenzo[c,f][1 ,2]thiazepine 5,5-dioxide are obtained as a yellow solid. HPLC (A)= 3.41 ; MS[lces+] MH+= 291.4 Step 3: The solid thus obtained (6 mmols, 1.746 g) is dissolved in methanol (50 ml) and treated with a methanolic solution of sodium methoxide (6 mmols: 36 ml of solution containing 385 mg of sodium in 100 ml of methanol). The solution obtained is then dried and evaporated to dryness by mechanical pump to obtain the corresponding sodium salt as a solid. This compound is dissolved in DMF (30 ml), methyl 6-bromo hexanoate (6 mmols, 1.45 g) in DMF (10 ml) are added and the mixture heated to 100°C for 3 h until the reaction is complete, monitored by HPLC. The reaction mixture is evaporated under vacuum by mechanical pump, the residue is treated with brine and extracted with ethyl acetate, dried and evaporated to dryness to obtain the product in a quantitative yield. HPLC (A)= 4.45' ; MS[lces+] MH+= 419.8 Step 4: The alkylated intermediate compound (4.5 mmols, 1.9 g) is dissolved in hot glacial acetic acid (80 ml) and the first portion of iron reduced by hydrogen (2.5 g, 45 mmols, divided into 4 portions) is added. The mixture is refluxed, maintaining at reflux for 1.5 h; in the first hour the remaining 3 portions of iron are added. After about 1 h at reflux the reaction mixture appears as a beige coloured milky suspension. At the end of the reaction the reaction mixture is cooled to 600C and filtered through a septum, washing the precipitate with acetic acid. The filtrate is evaporated to dryness and the residue treated with water, extracted with DCM, washed with 5% NaHCO3 and dried. After evaporating the solvent the methyl ester is obtained as a solid (1.57 g). The solid ester is suspended in methanol (30 ml), treated with 1N NaOH (8 mmols, 8 ml) and held for 1 hour at reflux, observing the disappearance of the ester and formation of the acid by HPLC. The methanol is evaporated from the reaction mixture under vacuum, the mixture is diluted with water and ethyl acetate (50 ml), the impurities are extracted and the residual aqueous solution is acidified with 1 N HCI. The solid that separates is extracted with ethyl acetate which is dried and evaporated thus obtaining a solid of 1.29 g, yield 85.8%. HPLC (A)= 3.19' ; MS[lces+] MH+= 418.0
The 6-(8-Acetylamino-10, 10-dioxo-5, 10-dihydro-10λ6-thia-5, 11 -diaza- dibenzo[a,c(]cyclohepten-11-yl)-hexanoic acid thus obtained (387 mg, 0.93 mmols) is treated with 95° ethanol (10 ml) and cone. HCI in water (2 ml) and held at reflux for 1 hour, monitoring by HPLC the disappearance of the reagent and formation of 30% acid and 70% ethyl ester. The reaction mixture is concentrated by rotavapor and the residue treated with brine. The mixture is extracted with ethyl acetate which, after drying and evaporating to dryness, provides a solid of 290 mg that is used in the crude form in the next reaction.
The previously obtained crude mixture (290 mg) is dissolved in methanol (8 ml) to which are added paraformaldehyde (105 mg, 3.5 mmols), acetic acid (0.15 ml, 2.5 mmols) and NaCNBH3 (126 mg, 2 mmols). The mixture is stirred for 48 h at ambient temperature achieving total transformation into dimethylated derivatives. The reaction mixture is acidified with 1 N HCI and after Vz h is alkalinised with 1N NaOH (8 ml) and held at reflux for Vz h, to obtain the acid derivative alone. After cooling, the product is acidified with 1 N HCI and extracted with ethyl acetate, then, after washing with brine and drying, is evaporated to provide the 6-(8- Dimethylamino-10,10-dioxo-5,10-dihydro-10λ6-thia-5,11-diaza- dibenzo[a,c/|cyclohepten-11-yl)-hexanoic acid as a solid of 232 mg, yield 62%. HPLC (A)= 2.94'; MS[lces+] MH+= 404.1 The intermediate (232 mg, 0.58 mmols) is dissolved in DMF (10 ml) and Et3N (1.1 mmols, 0.16 ml) is added at -1O0C. Ethyl chloroformate (1 mmol, 0.1 ml) is added drop-wise and the mixture is maintained between -10 and 0°C for 1 hour. At the end of this period, this suspension is added in total to a mixture of NH2OH*HCI (2.8 mmols, 200 mg) in DMF (3 ml) to which Et3N (2.9 mmols, 0.4 ml) was added. The resulting reaction mixture is maintained for 2 hours while stirring. Formation of the hydroxamate is observed by HPLC. The reaction mixture is dried by mechanical pump, diluted with brine and extracted with ethyl acetate (twice). The extract is dried and by evaporating the solvent a crude oil is obtained which is purified by preparative Schimatzu HPLC (3 passages) with a Symmetry Prep C18 19x300 mm column with an eluent mixture formed of 80% water and 20% acetonitrile (both containing 0.1% TFA), the CH3CN increasing with linear gradient by 0.5% per minute. The pure chromatographic fractions are collected and lyophilised.
A white lyophilised solid of 150 mg, yield 48.5%, is obtained.

Therapeutic indications
The histone deacetylase inhibitors are a class of potential therapeutic or prophylactic agents for pathological states caused by abnormal gene expression, such as inflammatory disorders, diabetes, complications of diabetes, homozygotic thalassaemia, fibrosis, cirrhosis, acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL), transplant rejection, auto-immune diseases, protozoan infections, tumors and the like.
In particular they are emerging as a new class of drugs with anti-tumor activity. The connection between some tumorous pathologies, such as carcinoma of the mammary, colon and lung, and acetylation levels of nuclear chromatin has been described. Drugs able to modulate chromatin remodelling are able to inhibit tumor proliferation and could provide new instruments for treating tumor pathologies in the not too distant future. Much experimental evidence leads to the belief that the main application field of these drugs could be in combined therapies. The considerable tolerability that has emerged from the first clinical trials leads to the belief that this class of molecules lends itself to combined therapy with traditional drugs such as cytotoxic drugs, or with radiotherapy treatments or with the new generation antitumor agents. In particular, the present invention also provides combinations of compounds with histone deacetylase inhibitory activity of general formula (I) together with one or more chemotherapeutic compounds chosen from the group: conventional cytotoxic agents, demethylating agents, cyclin dependent kinase inhibitors, differentiating agents, signal transduction modulators, HSP-90 antagonists, proteasome inhibitors. Preferred compounds are compounds chosen from the following groups: the conventional cytotoxic agents: fludarabine, gemcitabine, decitabine, paclitaxel, carboplatin and Topo l/ll inhibitors to include
Etoposide, irinotecan, Topotecan, T-128 and Anthracyclines such as Doxorubicin,
Sabarubicin, Daunorubicin; the demethylating agents (demethylation of DNA): 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-aza- dC), 5-azacytidine; the cyclin dependent kinase inhibitors: Flavopiridol, olomoucin, roscovitin, purvalanol B, GW9499, GW5181 , CGP60474, CGP74514, AG12286, AG12275,
Staurosporine, UCN-01 ; the differentiating agents: retinoic acid and derivatives (All Trans Retinoic Acid, ATRA), 13-cis retinoic acid (CRA), PMA (phorbol myristate acetate); the signal transduction modulators: TRAIL, imatinib mesylate, LY-294002, bortezomib; the HSP-90 antagonists: geldanamycin and its analogues (17-AAG); the proteasome inhibitors: lactacystine, MG132, bortezomib (Velcade™).
Biological activity
The activity of the compounds as histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors was measured using an in vitro acetylation assay. The compounds were then evaluated as inhibitors of proliferation of human tumor cell cultures. The overall data obtained are given in the table.
Deacetylase activity on nuclear extract of HeLa cells (Human cervical cancer cell) The assay (Fluor de Lys™ kit, BioMol) is divided into two steps: in the first step the substrate which comprises an acetylated lysine residue is reacted with the nuclear extract (HeLa) containing the enzymatic activity in the presence and absence of inhibitors. In the second step a fluorogenic reagent is added which highlights the deacetylated residues. A reduction in fluorescence is obtained where there has been inhibition of the deacetylase activity. The result is finally expressed as percent inhibition relative to the control without inhibitor at a concentration of 1 μM. Evaluation of cytotoxic activity on culture of human colon carcinoma cells HCT- 116
Human colon carcinoma cells HCT-116 were seeded onto 96-well plates in RPMI1640 culture medium with added 10% FBS and 2 mM glutamine. 24 hours after seeding, the compounds at different concentrations are added. All the compounds are diluted in DMSO such that the final concentrations on the cultures is no greater than 0.5%. 72 hours after addition of the compounds, cell viability is measured by means of the dye Alamar Blue. The result is expressed as percent survival of the treated relative to the control, treated with carrier alone.
