SRT2183 is a drug in development by Sirtris Pharmaceuticals intended as a small-molecule activator of the sirtuin subtype SIRT1. It has similar activity in the body to another SIRT1 activator SRT1720, but is closer in potency to resveratrol. In animal studies it was found to improve insulin sensitivity and lower plasma glucose levels in fat, muscle and liver tissue, and increased mitochondrial and metabolic function.[1] However, the claim that SRT2183 is a SIRT1 activator has been questioned[2] and further defended.[3]
