Abstract

The development of new compounds inhibiting SIRT2, a protein that regulates various biological processes, has attracted significant attention in recent years. This study reported dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) synthesis and evaluation as a new scaffold for SIRT2 inhibition. DMAP derivatives were designed and synthesized using a combination of computational modeling and synthetic chemistry approaches. A high-throughput screening assay was used to evaluate the ability of compounds to inhibit SIRT2. The most potent compounds were identified and further characterized using cellular and enzymatic assays. This review suggests that DMAP could be a promising scaffold for developing novel SIRT2 inhibitors with potential anticancer activity.
