Structure-Based Discovery of Trifluoromethyl Oxadiazole Oxime Ethers as Potent Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors.
Histone deacetylases (HDACs), well-established epigenetic targets in medicinal chemistry, have recently attracted attention as potential targets for fungicides against phytopathogenic fungi. In this study, EX-3, a known trifluoromethyl oxadiazole (TFMO)-based HDAC inhibitor, was selected as a lead compound. Guided by i...
