SIRT6-IN-1 is primarily used in research to study the role of SIRT6, a sirtuin enzyme involved in various cellular processes. It is employed as an inhibitor to investigate SIRT6's function in aging, DNA repair, inflammation, and metabolism. Researchers use this compound to explore its potential therapeutic effects in diseases like cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and metabolic syndromes. By inhibiting SIRT6, scientists can better understand its regulatory mechanisms and identify pathways for drug development targeting age-related and chronic diseases.
