Tenovin-6 is an inhibitor of SIRT1 and SIRT2, slightly inhibits HDAC8, and is also a potent activator of p53, with IC₅₀s of 21 uM, 10 uM, and 67 uM for SirT1, SirT2, and SirT3, respectively. IC50 & Target: IC50: 21 uM (SirT1), 10 uM (SirT2), 67 uM (SirT3)^[1] In Vitro: Tenovin-6 inhibits the growth of S. cerevisiae cultures with an IC₅₀ of 30 uM and is more toxic to yeast than the less water-soluble tenovin-1. Tenovin-6 rapidly increases the levels of endogenous K382-Ac p53 in MCF-7 cells^[1]. Tenovin-6 (0 to 15?uM) dose dependently increases the level of LC3-II in diverse cell types, and the increase is ATG5/7 dependent. Tenovin-6 treatment also increases the number and intensity of autophagic vesicles with or without the presence of Torin 1, and prevents Torin 1-induced SQSTM1/p62 degradation. Tenovin-6 affects the acidification of autolysosomes and impairs the hydrolytic activity of lysosomes but does not affect the fusion between autophagosomes and lysosomes. That tenovin-6 inhibits autophagy does not correlate with p53 activation and SIRT1/2 inhibition by knockdown or knockout cannot mimic the effect of tenovin-6 on LC3B accumulation^[2]. Tenovin-6 (0, 1, 2.5, 5 or 10 uM) potently inhibits cell proliferation in a dose- and time-dependent manner in all OCI-Ly1, DHL-10, U2932, RIVA, HBL1 and OCI-Ly10 cell lines. Tenovin-6 consistently increases LC3B-II level in DLBCL cell lines by inhibiting the classical autophagy pathway, without activating p53, and the increase is independent of SIRT1/2/3 and p53. Tenovin-6 induces apoptosis through the extrinsic cell-death pathway^[3]. Tenovin-6 suppresses the growth of UM cells with IC₅₀ of 12.8?uM, 11.0?uM, 14.58?uM and 9.62?uM for 92.1, Mel 270, Omm 1 and Omm 2.3 cells, respectively^[4]. In Vivo: Tenovin-6 (50 mg/kg, i.p.) inhibits the growth of tumor in mice^[1].
