Sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) is a member of the human sirtuins, which regulates various biological processes and is deemed as a novel biomarker for different cancers. Depending on the tumor type, SIRT2 knockout leads to a controversial role in tumorigenesis, however, pharmacological inhibition of SIRT2 results exclusively in growth inhibition of various cancer cells. In this respect, selective SIRT2 inhibitors hold therapeutic promise in a wide range of tumors. The literature has a batch of successful stories of SIRT2 modulators discovery. This review presents our perspective on the up-to-date selective SIRT2 inhibitors and their antiproliferative activity. Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
