Modestly modified: Three stable NAD+ analogues namely, c‐NAD+, S‐NAD+ and BAD were prepared by using an optimized chemoenzymatic procedure and were compared side‐by‐side for enzyme inhibition of Legionella effector enzyme SdeC, which is important in bacterial virulence. Minimal structural variation in the furanose ring or nicotinamide part of NAD+ leads to efficient inhibitors.

Carba-NAD is a synthetic compound identical to NAD except for one substitution, where an oxygen atom adjacent to the anomeric linkage bearing nicotinamide is replaced with a methylene group. Because it is inert in nicotinamide displacement reactions, carba-NAD is an unreactive substrate analogue for NAD-consuming enzymes. SIRT3 and SIRT5 are NAD-consuming enzymes that are potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of metabolic diseases and cancers. We report an improved carba-NAD synthesis, including a pyrophosphate coupling method that proceeds in approximately 60% yield. We also disclose the Xray crystal structures of the ternary complexes of SIRT3 and SIRT5 bound to a peptide substrate and carba-NAD. These X-ray crystal structures provide critical snapshots of the mechanism by which human sirtuins function as protein deacylation catalysts.
