2-Cyano-3-[5-(2,5-dichlorophenyl)-2-furanyl]-N-5-quinolinyl-2-propenamide

The Uses of 2-Cyano-3-[5-(2,5-dichlorophenyl)-2-furanyl]-N-5-quinolinyl-2-propenamide

AGK2 is a SIRT2 inhibitor. AGK2 has been used in a study to determine that SIRT2 inhibition induces cell death and decreases the intracellular ATP level. AGK2 also rescues dopamine neurons from α-synuclein toxicity in Parkinson′s disease models.

What are the applications of Application

SIRT2 Inhibitor, AGK2 is a reversible inhibitor of SIRT2 activity

Definition

ChEBI: 2-cyano-3-[5-(2,5-dichlorophenyl)-2-furanyl]-N-(5-quinolinyl)-2-propenamide is a member of quinolines.

Biological Activity

Selective inhibitor of SIRT2 (IC 50 = 3.5 μ M). Displays no activity at SIRT1 and SIRT3 at concentrations up to 40 μ M. Reduces α -synuclein-mediated toxicity in in vitro and in vivo models of Parkinson's disease.

Biochem/physiol Actions

AGK2 is a SIRT2 inhibitor. AGK2 rescues dopamine neurons from α-synuclein toxicity in Parkinson′s disease models. IC50 for SIRT2 = 3.5 uM. AGK2 is >15-fold more selective for SIRT2 than SIRT1 and SIRT3. AGK2 may be the most selective SIRT2 inhibitor available.
