The sirtuins (SIRTs) are a family of NAD+-dependent histone deacetylases involved in gene regulation that is relevant to, e.g., longevity, cancer, gene regulation, energy homeostasis, and apoptosis. Salermide is an inhibitor of SIRT1 and SIRT2, causing tumor-specific apoptotic cell death. In MOLT4 leukemia cells,...

Salermide is an inhibitor of sirtuins that exhibits anti-parasitic and anticancer chemotherapeutic activities. In Schistosoma mansoni, salermide decreases egg-laying activity, disrupts morphology of reproductive organs, and induces apoptosis and cell death. In breast cancer cells, salermide downregulates expression...
