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

AK-7 is a brain penetrant selective SIRT2 inhibitor. No inhibition of SIRT1 or SIRT3 detected.
Selective SIRT2 Inhibitor
Selective SIRT2 Inhibitor AK-7 is a brain penetrant selective SIRT2 inhibitor. No inhibition of SIRT1 or SIRT3 detected.
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.

The extracellular matrix, in particular basement membrane components such as laminins (LMs), is essential for stem cell differentiation and self-renewal. LM511 and LM221 are the main extracellular matrix components of the epicardium, where stem cells were abundant. Here, we examined
