Application

GMX1778 has been used as NAMPT inhibitor, to study its effects on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) contents of SH-SY5Y cells exposed to Vacor.

Biochem/physiol Actions

GMX1778 (CHS-828) is a competitive inhibitor of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) that exhibits a potent anticancer activity both in vitro and in vivo. GMX1778 exerts a cytotoxic effect by decreasing the cellular level of NAD+. GMX1778 increases intracellular ROS in cancer cells but does not induce ROS in normal cells.
GMX1778 can regulate redox status and has the ability to simulate ROS in cancer cells.

Interest in the modulation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) metabolome is gaining great momentum because of its therapeutic potential in different human disorders. Suppression of nicotinamide salvage by nicotinamide phosphoribosyl transferase (NAMPT) inhibitors, however, gave inconclusive results in neoplastic patients because

Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), the rate-limiting enzyme in NAD(+) biosynthesis from nicotinamide, is one of the major factors regulating cancer cells metabolism and is considered a promising target for treating cancer. The prototypical NAMPT inhibitor FK866 effectively lowers NAD(+) levels in
