Biochem/physiol Actions

AEM1 (ARE expression modulator 1) is also a selective inhibitor of sirtuin 2, which is a protein deacetylase mediated by NAD+. Sirtuin 2 supports tumor cell proliferation, thus its inhibition stimulates cell death in tumors.
AEM1 is a potent inhibitor of deregulated Nrf2 transcriptional activity. AEM1 broadly decreases the expression of NRF2 controlled genes and sensitizes A549 cells to various chemotherapeutic agents.

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
