For a 10 mM stock, reconstitute 5 mg of powder in 1.14 mL of DMSO. Working concentrations and length of treatment can vary depending on the desired effect.\n\u003cb\u003eStorage\u003c\/b\u003e\nStore lyophilized at room temperature, desiccated. In lyophilized form, the chemical is stable for 24 months. Once in solution, store at -20ºC and use within 3 months to prevent loss of potency. Aliquot to avoid multiple freeze\/thaw cycles .\n\u003cb\u003eBackground\u003c\/b\u003e\nThe brain-permeable small-molecule AK-7 inhibits the NAD-dependent deacetylase sirtuin 2 (SirT2) which is involved in cytoskeletal regulation and progression through mitosis. The inhibitor AK-7 specifically binds and inhibits SirT2 (IC = 15.5 mM) and has no apparent effect on SirT1 or SirT3. AK-7 reduced total cholesterol in primary striatal neurons and reduced cholesterol in cultured naïve neuronal cells and brain slices from wild-type mice (1). Treatment with AK-7 improved motor function, extended survival, and reduced brain atrophy in a pair of genetic mouse models of Huntington's disease (2). In a study of aging in a rat model of Parkinson's disease, AK-7 inhibition revealed a potential role for SirT2 in Parkinson's neurodegeneration, and suggested that AK-7 may have a beneficial neuroprotective effect (3). Similar results were seen in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease, but AK-7 was not able to counteract neurodegenerative processes associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or cerebral ischemia (4).","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46800694575273,"sku":"36804S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-36804s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
