GNE-618 is a potent and orally active inhibitor of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (IC50: 6 nM). GNE-618 depletes NAD levels and induces tumor cell death. It has anti-tumor activity.
GNE-617 hydrochloride is a potent and competitive inhibitor of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (IC50: 5nM). GNE-617 hydrochloride reduces the NAD levels in a > 95% reduction in both NAPRT1-deficient and NAPRT1-proficient cell lines and exerts (EC50
7-Bromoheptanoic acid is a building block.1,2It has been used in the synthesis of azide-based nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt) inhibitors with anticancer activity and SAHA derivatives that inhibit histone deacetylases (HDACs).
