Bisnaphthalimidopropyl Derivatives as Inhibitors of <i>Leishmania</i> SIR2 Related Protein 1

Abstract excerpt

The NAD(+)-dependent deacetylases, namely sirtuins, are involved in the regulation of a variety of biological processes such as gene silencing, DNA repair, longevity, metabolism, apoptosis, and development. An enzyme from the parasite Leishmania infantum that belongs to this family, LiSIR2RP1, is a NAD(+)-dependent tubulin deacetylase and an ADP-ribosyltransferase. This enzyme's involvement in L. infantum...
