Sirtuins are signaling hubs orchestrating the cellular response to various stressors with roles in all major civilization diseases. Sirtuins remove acyl groups from lysine residues of proteins, thereby controlling their activity, turnover, and localization. The seven human sirtuins, SirT1-7, are closely related in structure, hindering the development of specific inhibitors. Screening 170,000 compounds, we identify and optimize SirT1-specific benzoxazine inhibitors, Sosbo, which rival the efficiency and surpass the selectivity of selisistat (EX527). The compounds inhibit the deacetylation of p53 in cultured cells, demonstrating their ability to permeate biological membranes. Kinetic analysis of inhibition and docking studies reveal that the inhibitors bind to a complex of SirT1 and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, similar to selisistat. These new SirT1 inhibitors are valuable alternatives to selisistat in biochemical and cell biological studies. Their greater selectivity may allow the development of better targeted drugs to combat SirT1 activity in diseases such as cancer, Huntington's chorea, or anorexia.
Sirtuins 是信号枢纽,在各种应激源作用下协调细胞反应,在所有主要的文明疾病中都发挥作用。Sirtuins 从蛋白质的赖氨酸残基上去除酰基基团,从而控制其活性、周转率和定位。人类的七种 Sirtuins(SirT1-7)在结构上非常相似,这阻碍了特异性抑制剂的开发。通过筛选 17 万种化合物,我们鉴定并优化了 SirT1 特异性苯并恶嗪抑制剂 Sosbo,其效率可与 selisistat(EX527)相媲美,且选择性更高。这些化合物可抑制培养细胞中 p53 的去乙酰化,证明它们能够穿透生物膜。抑制的动力学分析和对接研究表明,抑制剂与 SirT1 和烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸的复合物结合,类似于 selisistat。这些新型 SirT1 抑制剂是生化和细胞生物学研究中 selisistat 的有价值替代品。它们更高的选择性可能允许开发更好的靶向药物,以对抗癌症、亨廷顿舞蹈病或厌食症等疾病中 SirT1 活性。
