SIRT6 (EC50 = 38 μM)
Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), a NAD+-dependent deacetylase involved in genomic stability, metabolism, and aging. UBCS039 is the first synthetic, specific SIRT6 activator. Activation of SIRT6 leads to deacetylation of histone H3 at lysine 9 and lysine 56, which are SIRT6-targeted sites. The compound also activates the AMPK-ULK1-mTOR signaling pathway via ROS elevation. |

| ln Vitro |
In human Manhattan, UBCS039 (75 μM, 48 or 72 hours) causes the H3 site of the SIRT6 activator protein to dechondrify [2]. In human Manhattan, UBCS039 induces autophagosome accumulation [2]. By triggering AMP-activated Protein Kinase (AMPK) signaling, UBCS039 promotes autophagy [2].
UBCS039 induces autophagy in several human tumor cell lines in a time-dependent manner with an EC50 of 38 μM. It induces deacetylation of SIRT6-targeted histone H3 sites in human cancer cells. UBCS039-mediated autophagy activation is strictly dependent on SIRT6 deacetylase activity. The compound triggers autophagy through ROS elevation, which leads to activation of the AMPK-ULK1-mTOR signaling pathway. These effects demonstrate the compound's role as a pharmacological tool for studying SIRT6 function and autophagy regulation. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo efficacy and pharmacological effects of UBCS039 have been evaluated in animal models. As a SIRT6 activator, the compound may have potential in cancer research, metabolic disorders, and aging-related conditions. The compound's ability to induce autophagy through SIRT6 activation suggests potential therapeutic applications. Detailed in vivo data are limited as the compound is primarily a research tool for studying SIRT6 biology. Further studies would be needed to characterize its in vivo pharmacokinetics and efficacy.

| Enzyme Assay |
Sirtuins are protein deacylases regulating metabolism and stress responses, and are implicated in aging-related diseases. Small molecule activators for the human sirtuins Sirt1-7 are sought as chemical tools and potential therapeutics, such as for cancer. Activators are available for Sirt1 and exploit its unique N-terminus, whereas drug-like activators for Sirt2-7 are lacking. We synthesized and screened pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxaline derivatives, yielding the first synthetic Sirt6 activators. Biochemical assays show direct, substrate-independent compound binding to the Sirt6 catalytic core and potent activation of Sirt6-dependent deacetylation of peptide substrates and complete nucleosomes. Crystal structures of Sirt6/activator complexes reveal that the compounds bind to a Sirt6-specific acyl channel pocket and identify key interactions. Our results establish potent Sirt6 activation with small molecules and provide a structural basis for further development of Sirt6 activators as tools and therapeutics [1].
SIRT6 deacetylase activity assays are performed using recombinant human SIRT6 enzyme and a peptide substrate corresponding to histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) or a fluorogenic substrate (e.g., Fluor de Lys). The reaction is carried out in assay buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 1 mM NAD+) at 37°C for 30-60 minutes. Deacetylated substrate is detected by fluorescence or by ELISA using anti-acetyl-H3K9 antibodies. Test compounds are serially diluted and added to the reaction mixture. EC50 values for activation are determined by non-linear regression analysis. Each concentration is tested in duplicate. |

Western Blot Analysis[2]
Cell Types: human H1299 cells. Tested Concentrations: 75 μM. Incubation Duration: 48 and 72 hrs (hours). Experimental Results: Deacetylation of SIRT6-targeted histone H3 sites was induced in human H1299 cells. Western Blot Analysis[2] Cell Types: human H1299 cells. Tested Concentrations: 75 μM. Incubation Duration: 48 and 72 hrs (hours). Experimental Results: Deacetylation of SIRT6-targeted histone H3 sites was induced in human H1299 cells. Cell proliferation assay [2] Cell Types: human H1299 cells. Tested Concentrations: 100μM. Incubation Duration: 48 and 72 hrs (hours). Experimental Results: Cell proliferation was strongly diminished in a dose-dependent manner starting from day 3 of growth of H1299 and HeLa cell lines (48 hrs (hours) after treatment) compared to control or DMSO-treated cells. Cellular autophagy induction is evaluated in human tumor cell lines (e.g., HeLa, MCF-7, HCT116). Cells are cultured in DMEM with 10% FBS and treated with UBCS039 at various concentrations (1-100 μM) for 6-48 hours. Autophagy is assessed by LC3-II/I conversion (Western blotting), GFP-LC3 puncta formation (fluorescence microscopy), and p62/SQSTM1 degradation (Western blotting). SIRT6-mediated histone H3 deacetylation is measured by Western blotting using anti-acetyl-H3K9 and anti-acetyl-H3K56 antibodies. ROS levels are measured using DCFH-DA fluorescence. AMPK, ULK1, and mTOR phosphorylation are assessed by Western blotting. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. Each experiment includes SIRT6 knockdown or inhibitor controls. |
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo efficacy is evaluated in mouse xenograft models using human tumor cell lines. UBCS039 is administered intraperitoneally or orally at doses typically ranging from 5-50 mg/kg. Tumor growth is monitored by caliper measurements. At study endpoint, tumors are harvested for histopathological analysis and biochemical assays (SIRT6 activity, histone acetylation, autophagy markers LC3 and p62). For mechanism studies, tissues may be collected for ROS measurement and signaling pathway analysis. Body weight and clinical signs are monitored throughout the study. Sample sizes typically range from 6-10 animals per group.
