INHIBITORS OF CELLULAR NIACINAMIDE MONONUCLEOTIDE FORMATION AND THEIR USE IN CANCER THERAPY

New biologically active compounds are described which inhibit the cellular formation of niacinamide mononucleotide, an essential intermediate of the NAD(P) biosynthesis in the cell. These compounds can represent the active ingredient of a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of cancers, leuk...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:New biologically active compounds are described which inhibit the cellular formation of niacinamide mononucleotide, an essential intermediate of the NAD(P) biosynthesis in the cell. These compounds can represent the active ingredient of a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of cancers, leukaemias or for immunosuppression. Furthermore, screening methods are described as a tool for detecting the above active compounds, and for examination of a given cell type for its dependency on niacinamide as a precursor for NAD synthesis.
