General description

A cell permeable methanophenanthridine derivative that acts a selective inhibitor of SIRT2 (IC50 = 3.8 µM) and exhibits ~30 fold greater selectivity over SIRT1 (IC50 >100 µM) and SIRT3. Blocks SIRT2-induced p53 deacetylation and thereby elevates p53 levels and causes increased expression of CDKN1A, PUMA, and NOXA in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) A549 cells. Also shown to reduce NSCLC cell viability by 50% (~20 µM) and inhibit their proliferation. Sensitizes A549 cancer cell line to etoposide (~1 µM) induced DNA damage in a p53-dependent manner.

Sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) is an NAD(+)-dependent protein deacetylase whose targets include histone H4 lysine 16, p53, and α-tubulin. Because deacetylation of p53 regulates its effect on apoptosis, pharmacological inhibition of SIRT2-dependent p53 deacetylation is of great therapeutic interest for the
