Inhibition of sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) is known to be protective against the toxicity of disease proteins in Parkinson's and Huntington's models of neurodegeneration. Previously, we developed SIRT2 inhibitors based on the 3-(N-arylsulfamoyl)benzamide scaffold, including3-(N-(4-bromophenyl)sulfamoyl)-N-(4-bromophenyl)benzamide(C2-8, 1a), which demonstrated neuroprotective effects in a Huntington's mouse model, but had low potency of SIRT2 inhibition. Here we report that N-methylation of 1a greatly incre ...[more]
