Description SIRT1 is an enzyme involved in cellular stress resistance and survival. Activation of SIRT1 has been shown to prevent degradation of axotomized DRG neurons. The neuroprotective effects of SRT647, a SIRT1 activator, were examined during optic neuritis in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS).
