description Human sirtuin 2 (SIRT2), a member of the sirtuin family, has been considered as a promising drug target in cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, type II diabetes, and bacterial infections. Thus, SIRT2 inhibitors have been involved in effective treatment strategies for related diseases. Using previously established fluorescence-based assays for SIRT2 activity tests, the authors screened their in-house database and identified a compound, 4-(5-((3-(quinolin-5-yl)ureido)methyl)furan-2-yl)benzoic acid (<b>20</b>), which displayed 63 &#177; 5% and 35 &#177; 3% inhibition against SIRT2 at 100 &#956;M and 10 &#956;M, respectively. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) analyses of a series of synthesized (5-phenylfuran-2-yl)methanamine derivatives led to the identification of a potent compound <b>25</b> with an IC<sub>50</sub> value of 2.47 &#956;M, which is more potent than AGK2 (IC<sub>50</sub> = 17.75 &#956;M). Meanwhile, <b>25</b> likely possesses better water solubility (cLogP = 1.63 and cLogS = &#8722;3.63). Finally, the molecular docking analyses indicated that <b>25</b> fitted well with the induced hydrophobic pocket of SIRT2.
