Biochem/physiol Actions CHIC-35 is cell-permeable, metabolically stable, and very potent inhibitor of SIRT1; IC50 of S-isomer is 60 nM; IC50 of mixed isomers is 124 nM. There is no inhibition of SIRT3 or HDAC. The IC50 for SIRT2 is 2.77 μM. Sirtuins are protein deacetylases, which represent a new class of histone deacetylases (HDAC) involved in gene silencing. SIRT modulators are potential therapeutics for cancer, diabetes, muscle differentiation, heart failure, neurodegeneration, and aging. |
