Notes: AK-1 is a sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) inhibitor (IC50 = 12.5 µM).{21802} It induces the formation of α-synuclein aggregates in H4 neuroglioma cells expressing α-synuclein and synphilin-1.{17495} AK-1 (5 µM) decreases total cholesterol levels in Neuro2a and primary rat striatal neurons, as well as in hippocampal slice cultures.{21802} It increases ubiquitination of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in A549 cells and decreases HIF-1α levels in A549, HeLa, HEK293, and HEK293T cells under hypoxic conditions when used at a concentration of 10 µM.{46587} AK-1 (1 and 10 µM in the diet) decreases the loss of rhabdomeres in the ommatidium in the UAS-Httex1p-Q93 transgenic Drosophila model of Huntington's disease.{46588} Dietary administration of AK-1 (500 and 1,000 µM) prevents dopaminergic neuronal cell death in the dorsomedial cluster in the elav-GAL4 transgenic Drosophila model of Parkinson's disease.{17495}
