Abstract
Hydroxamic acids are a promising class of chemical compounds with proven antitumor potential, primarily due to their ability to inhibit the activity of histone deacetylase enzymes. The analysis of modern experimental data shows a wide range of biological activities of hydroxamic acids, which make them equally worthy candidates for the fight against neuropathologies. A characteristic feature of hydroxamic acids is their ability to act simultaneously on several promising molecular targets for the correction of both neuropathologies and oncological diseases, thereby exhibiting multifunctionality. This review discusses the effect of hydroxamic acids on key parts of cancer and neurodegenerative disorders' pathogenesis. Pathological changes in the processes associated with oxidative stress, the functioning of mitochondria, and the activity of metal enzymes of the class of histone deacetylases, as the main links in the epigenetic regulation of pathological conditions, are such molecular targets.
Keywords: Hydroxamic acids, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, oxidative stress, mitochondria, histone deacetylase.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
