SIRT1 is a NAD+-dependent deacetylase. Here we described new SIRT1 inhibitors with the scaffold of benzofuran-3-yl (phenyl) methanone. The inhibitors were predicted to bind in C- pocket of SIRT1, forming hydrophobic interactions with Phe273, Phe312 and Ile347. Introducing hydroxyl to meta position of phenyl may form H-bond with Asn346. Indeed,(2, 5- dihydroxyphenyl)(5-hydroxy-1-benzofuran-3-yl) methanone (16), an analogue with ...
