Abstract

NAD+-dependent sirtuin deacetylases have emerged as potential therapeutic targets for treatment of human illnesses such as cancer, metabolic, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative diseases. The benefits of sirtuin modulation by small molecules have been demonstrated for these diseases. In contrast to the discovery of inhibitors of SIRT1,-2, and-3, only activators for SIRT1 are known. Here, we rationalized the potential of the ...
