| Bioactivity | Selisistat (EX-527) is a potent and selective SirT1 (Sir2 in Drosophila melanogaster) inhibitor with an IC50 of 123 nM for SirT1. Selisistat alleviates pathology in multiple animal and cell models of Huntington's disease[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
| Target | IC50: 123 nM (SirT1) | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | Selisistat (1-10 μM) inhibits the deacetylation activity of both human SirT1 and Drosophila Sir2 in transfected cells[1]. | ||||||||||||
| In Vivo | Selisistat (5 and 20 mg/kg, PO, daily; transgenic R6/2 mice beginning at 4.5 weeksof age to death) is protective in the R6/2 mouse model of Huntington’s disease (HD)[1]. | ||||||||||||
