Description

A cell-permeable pyridinylacrylamide compound that acts as a selective, allosteric NAPRT/NAMPT (nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase) inhibitor (Ki = 0.4 nM for the enzyme/substrate complex, Ki? = 0.3 nM for the free enzyme), while exhibiting no effect toward NPRT (nicotinic acid phosphoribosyltransferase) activity (82% inhibition of NAPRT activity at 10 nM vs no inhibition of NPRT activity at 1 µ,M in K-562 extract). FK866 treatment is shown to induce cell death by depleting NAD+ (Cat. Nos. 481911 & 481915) in HepG2 and NIH-3T3 cultures (by >95% after 24 h treatment of 10 nM FK866), likewise the addition of exogenous NAD+ is demonstrated to rescue NIH-3T3 and SH-SY5Y from FK866-induced NAD+-depletion and cell death., A cell-permeable pyridinylacrylamide compound that acts as a selective, allosteric NAPRT/NAMPT (nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase) inhibitor (Ki = 0.4 nM for the enzyme/substrate complex, Ki? = 0.3 nM for the free enzyme), while exhibiting no effect toward NPRT (nicotinic acid phosphoribosyltransferase) activity (82% inhibition of NAPRT activity at 10 nM vs no inhibition of NPRT activity at 1 µ,M in K-562 extract).
