Description
2-APQC is an orally active and selective agonist of Sirtuin-3 (SIRT3) (Kd=2.756 µM), antagonizes Isoproterenol/ISO (HY-B0468)-induced cytotoxicity. 2-APQC activates the SIRT3-PYCR1 axis to enhance mitochondrial proline metabolism and inhibit the ROS-p38MAPK pathway by inhibiting signaling pathways such as mTOR-p70S6K, JNK, and TGF-β/Smad3. 2-APQC also activates the AMPK-Parkin axis to alleviate myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis and protect cardiac function. 2-APQC can be used in the study of heart failure[1]
