A series of novel indazole derivatives of Sirt 1 activator as osteogenic regulators

Abstract A series of indazole derivatives were identified as Sirt 1 activators though high-throughput screening. Optimization of each substituent on the indazole ring led to the identification of compound 13. Compound 13 appeared to give the best Sirt 1 activity of the compounds tested and also showed osteogenesis activity in a cell assay. Sirt 1 activators are therefore potential candidates for the treatment of osteoporosis.
