Selective inhibitors of Jumonji domain-containing protein (JMJD) histone demethylases are candidate anticancer agents as well as potential tools for elucidating the biological functions of JMJDs. On the basis of the crystal structure of JMJD2A and a homology model of JMJD2C, we designed and prepared a series of hydroxamate analogues bearing a tertiary amine. Enzyme assays using JMJD2C, JMJD2A, and prolyl hydroxylases revealed that hydroxamate analogue 8 is a potent and selective JMJD2 inhibitor, showing 500-fold greater JMJD2C-inhibitory activity and more than 9100-fold greater JMJD2C-selectivity compared with the lead compound N-oxalylglycine 2. Compounds 17 and 18, prodrugs of compound 8, each showed synergistic growth inhibition of cancer cells in combination with an inhibitor of lysine-specific demethylase I (LSD1). These findings suggest that combination treatment with JMJD2 inhibitors and LSD I inhibitors may represent a novel strategy for anticancer chemotherapy.
