Abstract
In developing new cancer medications, attention has been focused on novel epigenetic medicines called histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors. Our understanding of cancer behavior is being advanced by research on epigenetics, which also supplies new targets for improving the effectiveness of cancer therapy. Most recently published patents emphasize HDAC selective drugs and multitarget HDAC inhibitors. Though significant progress has been made in emerging HDAC selective antagonists, it is urgently necessary to find new HDAC blockers with novel zinc-binding analogues to avoid the undesirable pharmacological characteristics of hydroxamic acid. HDAC antagonists have lately been explored as a novel approach to treating various diseases, including cancer. The complicated terrain of HDAC inhibitor development is summarized in this article, starting with a discussion of the many HDAC isotypes and their involvement in cancer biology, followed by a discussion of the mechanisms of action of HDAC inhibitors, their current level of development, effect of miRNA, and their combination with immunotherapeutic.

Abstract
Histone Deacetylases (HDACs) are abnormally high expressed in various cancers and play a crucial role in regulating gene expression. While HDAC-targeted inhibitors have been rapidly developed and approved in the last twenty years, noninvasive monitoring and visualizing the expression levels of HDACs in tumor tissues might help to early diagnosis in cancer and predict the response to HDAC-targeted cancer therapy. In this review, we summarize the recent advancements in the development of HDAC-targeted probes and their applications in cancer imaging and image-guided surgery. We also discuss the design strategies, advantages and disadvantages of these probes. We hope that this review will provide guidance for the design of HDAC-targeted imaging probes and clinical applications in future.

Abstract
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are a large family of epigenetic metalloenzymes that are involved in gene transcription and regulation, cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, and death, as well as angiogenesis. Particularly, disorders of the HDACs expression are linked to the development of many types of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, making them interesting molecular targets for the design of new efficient drugs and imaging agents that facilitate an early diagnosis of these diseases. Thus, their selective inhibition or degradation are the basis for new therapies. This is supported by the fact that many HDAC inhibitors (HDACis) are currently under clinical research for cancer therapy, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has already approved some of them. In this review, we will focus on the recent advances and latest discoveries of innovative strategies in the development and applications of compounds that demonstrate inhibitory or degradation activity against HDACs, such as PROteolysis-TArgeting Chimeras (PROTACs), tumor-targeted HDACis (e.g., folate conjugates and nanoparticles), and imaging probes (positron emission tomography (PET) and fluorescent ligands).

Abstract
Extensive studies in recent decades have revealed that gene expression regulation is not limited to genetic mutations but also to processes that do not alter the genetic sequence. Post-translational histone modification is one of these processes in addition to DNA or RNA modifications. Histone modifications are essential in controlling histone functions and play a vital role in cellular gene expression. The reversible histone acetylation, regulated by histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs), is an example of such modifications. HDACs are involved in the deacetylation of histones and lead to the termination of gene expression. Although this cellular process is essential, upregulation of HDACs is found in numerous cancers. Therefore, research related to the activity and inhibition monitoring of HDACs is necessary to gain profound knowledge of these enzymes and evaluate the success of the therapeutic approach. In this perspective, methodology derived from fluorescent molecular probes is one of the preferable methods. Herein, we describe fluorescent probes developed to target HDACs by considering their activity and inhibition characteristics.

Abstract
Histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) has been used as a therapeutic target for many cancers as it is highly expressed in neuroblastoma cells and breast cancer cells. HDAC8-selective fluorescent probes need to be urgently developed. Herein, two novel fluorescent probes, namely NP-C6-PCI and AM-C6-PCI, based on the conjugation of 1,8-naphthalimide with a highly selective inhibitor of HDAC8 (PCI-34051) were reported. Compared with PCI-34051 (KD = 6.25 × 10-5 M), NP-C6-PCI (KD = 8.05 × 10-6 M) and AM-C6-PCI (KD = 7.42 × 10-6 M) showed great selectivity toward HDAC8. Two fluorescent probes exhibited high fluorescence intensity under λex = 450 nm and a large Stokes shift (100 nm). NP-C6-PCI was selected for cell and tissue imaging due to the similarity in the bioactivity of NP-C6-PCI with PCI-34051. The ability of NP-C6-PCI to target imaging HDAC8 in SH-SY5Y and MDA-MB-231 tumor cells was demonstrated. Furthermore, NP-C6-PCI was applied to imaging SH-SY5Y tumor tissue slices to indicate the relative expression level of HDAC8. Therefore, this HDAC8-selective fluorescent probe can be expected for applications in HDAC8-targeted drug screening as well as in pathologic diagnoses.
