Sirtuin activators as an anti-aging intervention for longevity

Abstract

Sirtuins are a family of NAD⁺-dependent class III histone deacetylases that regulate histones and other proteins. The mammalian sirtuins comprise seven members that have a role in energy metabolism, DNA repair, inflammation, cell survival, apoptosis, cellular senescence, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial production. Sirtuin modulation may have beneficial effects on aging and age-related diseases; thus, attracting a growing interest in discovering small molecules modifying their activity. A class of compounds both natural and chemically synthesized has emerged as sirtuin activators. This review discusses mammalian sirtuins in aging, the small molecules that activate sirtuins, modulation of sirtuin activity, and its impact in alleviating the effects of aging.
