Cancer cells are highly dependent on Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) activity for prolifera-tion, therefore NAMPT represents an interesting target for the development of anti-cancer drugs. Several com-pounds, such as FK866 and CHS828, were identified as potent NAMPT inhibitors with strong anti-cancer activity, although none of...

Targeting cancer cells that are highly dependent on the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) metabolite is a promising therapeutic strategy. Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) is the rate-limiting enzyme catalyzing NAD+ production. Despite the high efficacy of several developed NAMPT inhibitors (i.e., FK866 (APO866)) in...
