Application

Splitomicin was used to inhibit SIRT1 in human aortic endothelial cells and sirtuins in human breast cancer cells. Mouse leukaemic monocyte macrophage cell line was treated with Splitomicin prior to cholesterol efflux studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Splitomicin, a derivative of β-naphthol is an inhibitor of Silent Information Regulator 2 (SIR2). It inhibits the NAD+-dependent deacetylase activity of Sir2 in vitro. It increases the levels of cyclic AMP by inhibiting the activity of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase, interferes with mobilization of intracellular Ca+2 and ATP release. This results in inhibition of platelet aggregation that is effective in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Sir2p (silent information regulator) and HDAC inhibitor.

The precise mechanism for reduced thrombosis in prekallikrein null mice (Klkb1(-/-)) is unknown. Klkb1(-/-) mice have delayed carotid artery occlusion times on the rose bengal and ferric chloride thrombosis models. Klkb1(-/-) plasmas have long-activated partial thromboplastin times and defective contact

Splitomicin is derived from beta-naphthol and is an inhibitor of Silent Information Regulator 2 (SIR2). Its naphthoic moiety might be responsible for its inhibitory effects on platelets. The major goal of our study was to examine possible mechanisms of action

Excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) contributes to progression of atherosclerosis, at least in part by causing endothelial dysfunction and inflammatory activation. The class III histone deacetylase SIRT1 has been implicated in extension of lifespan. In the vasculature,SIRT1 gain-of-function
