SIRT5 inhibitor 7 (compound 58), a selective and substrate-competitive SIRT5 inhibitor, exhibits anti-inflammatory properties by modulating protein succinylation and attenuating pro-inflammatory cytokine release. It demonstrates renal protective effects and is active in vivo, showing efficacy in AKI mouse models subjected to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and cecal ligation/perforation (CLP)-induced sepsis-related acute kidney injury [1].
