N-(3-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-propenoyl)-amino acid tryptamides as SIRT2 inhibitors

A series of N-(3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-propenoyl)-amino acid tryptamides was based on a previously reported new SIRT2 inhibitor from our group, and it was designed to study if the molecular size of the compound could be reduced. The most potent compounds, N-(3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-propenoyl)-2-aminoisobutyric acid tryptamide and N-(3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-propenoyl)-l-alanine tryptamide, were equipotent, 30% smaller in molecular weight, and slightly more selective (SIRT2/SIRT1) than the parent compound.
