Biological Activity
Sirtinol is a sirtuin inhibitor, with IC50s of 48 μM, 57.7 μM and 131 μM for ySir2, hSIRT2 and hSIRT2, respectively.
In Vitro
Sirtinol reduces the growth of MCF-7 cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The IC50 values of sirtinol are 48.6 μM and 43.5 μM after 24 and 48 h of treatment, respectively. Sirtinol significantly decreases SIRT1 expression and increases the acetylated p53 level[1]. Sirtinol attenuates the proliferation and induces apoptosis of nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) H1299 cells and causes the significantly increased level of FoxO3a, a proapoptotic transcription factor targeted by Sirt1[2].
In Vivo
Sirtinol has anti-inflammatory effects through direct inhibition of HNE activity and attenuates HNE-induced and LPS-mediated tissue or organ injury[3].
