Description
Application
EX-527 has been used:
in 1% dimethyl sulfoxide, 30%, polyethylene glycol-400 and 1% Tween 80 for treating C57BL/6 N mice to study its effect on intestinal morphological changes and crypt cell apoptosis
as a an inhibitor of sirtuin 1, in treating human cancer lines MCF-7 (Michigan cancer foundation-7) and HCT116 (colon cancer cell line) incubated in Dulbecco′s modified Eagle′s medium, to study its effect on mitochondrial ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production
Intracerebroventricularly infused in rat model of epileptogenesis, to access kainic acid–induced status epilepticus stimulated sirtuin 1 activity
Biochem/physiol Actions
EX-527 is a potent and selective sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) inhibitor (IC50 38 nM) identified from a high throughput screen. EX-527 is more selective (200-500-fold) for SIRT1 than for SIRT2 or SIRT3 and has been shown to be a potent SIRT6 inhibitor using H3K56 deacetylation site based substrate. EX-527 does not inhibit class I/II HDAC activity at concentrations up to 100uM. Enhances p53 acetylation in response to DNA damaging agents. EX-527 is racemic; the active isomer (EX-243) gives similar results and potency whereas the other isomer (designated EX-242) is inactive.
Potent SIRT1 and SIRT6 inhibitor.
