Abstract

Cisplatin is a highly effective antitumor agent. However, its use is limited due to severe adverse effects, particularly nephrotoxicity, which occurs in approximately 30% of patients. There is a need for novel renoprotective compounds. Sirtuins play a vital role in various physiological and pathological processes such as oxidative stress, apoptosis, inflammation, and mitochondrial bioenergetics. It has been shown that sirtuins can exert a protective effect on cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury by targeting multiple signaling pathways. Besides, sirtuins not only did not reduce the anticancer effect of cisplatin but also increased it. Several natural compounds have been reported to inhibit cisplatin-mediated nephrotoxicity through sirtuin stimulation. These compounds exert their therapeutic effects on cisplatin‐induced renal injury by targeting various signaling pathways including Sirt1/p53, Sirt1/NF-κb/p56, AMPK/Sirt1, Sirt1/PGC‐1α, and/or by enhancing mitochondrial function.
