Business Wire
Sirtris Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: SIRT), a biopharmaceutical
company focused on discovering and developing small molecule drugs
to treat diseases of aging such as Type 2 Diabetes, announced today
that it will present two posters at the Federation of American
Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) Summer Research
Conferences from August 4 to August 9, 2007. The "Glucose
Transporter Biology" poster will be presented in Snowmass Village,
Colorado; and the "Obesity, Energy Balance & Disease" poster
will be presented in Indian Wells, California. The data presented
offer mechanistic insight on SIRT1 activation via resveratrol and
via new chemical entities (NCEs), which are structurally unrelated
to and significantly more potent than resveratrol, as demonstrated
in pre-clinical studies. Data showing glucose lowering and improved
insulin sensitivity with NCEs in multiple pre-clinical models of
Type 2 Diabetes such as diet induced obesity model, ob/ob, and
Zucker fa/fa, also will be presented. About Sirtris Pharmaceuticals
