Abstract

Background: Endothelial dysfunction, largely driven by endothelial senescence, is a critical factor in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. SIRT1, a key regulator of vascular homeostasis, has been identified as a potential target for mitigating endothelial senescence. Activators of SIRT1 have shown promise in delaying cellular senescence by modulating senescence markers and inflammatory pathways. However, a comprehensive evaluation of their effectiveness in in vitro models is required. Methods: This systematic review follows PRISMA 2020 guidelines and SYRCLE’s risk of bias assessment. Studies from four databases (PubMed, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, and Taylor & Francis) were screened based on eligibility criteria, focusing on in vitro studies using Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs) treated with SIRT1 activators. Key outcomes analyzed included senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal), cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CDKIs: p21, p53, and p16), and senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Results: A total of 20 studies met the inclusion criteria. SIRT1 activators, including dapagliflozin, rhHAPLN1, ginsenoside Rb1, resveratrol, and others, demonstrated significant reductions in SA-β-gal expression, oxidative stress, and inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β, and CCL2). Additionally, SIRT1 activation was associated with downregulation of CDKIs and enhanced nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability, contributing to improved endothelial function. Conclusion: SIRT1 activators exhibit potential in delaying endothelial senescence by suppressing senescence markers and inflammatory mediators, thereby preserving endothelial integrity. Future studies should focus on clinical validation to explore their therapeutic applications in endothelial senescence and cardiovascular disease prevention

Abstract

Background: The silent progression of vascular aging, characterized by endothelial dysfunction, has been closely linked to a decline in SIRT1 activity. Natural polyphenols have drawn increasing attention as potential modulators of this longevity-associated enzyme, offering therapeutic promise through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Objective: This study aimed to conduct an in silico analysis of natural SIRT1 activators, compare their interactions with simvastatin, and explore their structure-activity relationships to identify potential candidates for vascular-protective nutraceuticals or therapeutic adjuvants. Methods: Molecular docking was performed using PyRx 8.0 to assess ligand-SIRT1 interactions. Pharmacokinetic properties were evaluated through Lipinski’s Rule of Five and Veber’s Rule using SwissADME, while toxicity predicted with ProTox-II. Ligand-receptor interactions were visualized using LigPlot+. Result: Moracin demonstrated the strongest binding affinity to SIRT1 (–11.3 kcal/mol), followed by resveratrol (–9.6 kcal/mol), chlorogenic acid (–9.5 kcal/mol), and quercetin (–8.9 kcal/mol), all outperforming simvastatin (–8.4 kcal/mol). Moracin, resveratrol, and quercetin satisfied key drug-likeness criteria, while chlorogenic acid showed limitations in permeability. Toxicity profiling positioned resveratrol as the safest compound (GHS class 6), with moracin and quercetin also showing favorable profiles. Simvastatin exhibited broader toxicity risks. Conclusion: In silico and molecular docking results presented evidence for the potential of Morus L. polyphenols, especially moracin and resveratrol, as SIRT1 activators for endothelial anti-aging therapy. However, these findings remain predictive and require further validation through in vitro and in vivo studies to confirm the therapeutic efficacy and safety of these compounds as anti-aging agents.
