General description

AK-7 (3-(1-azepanylsulfonyl)-N-(3-bromphenyl) benzamide) is a cell- and brain-permeable, selective SIRT2 (sirtuin 2) inhibitor.

Application

AK-7 has been used in cell culture and cell treatment.

Biochem/physiol Actions

In neurons, the sirtuin 2 inhibitor AK-7 is neuroprotective in vitro and decreases polyglutamine inclusions and cholesterol levels. In mice, treatment with brain-permeable SIRT2 inhibitor AK-7 led to improved motor function, extended survival and decreased brain atrophy. AK-7 decreases the polyglutamine aggregation in R6/2 brain.
Selective SIRT2 Inhibitor AK-7 is a brain penetrant selective SIRT2 inhibitor. No inhibition of SIRT1 or SIRT3 detected.
