New biologically active substances are described which inhibit the cellular formation of niacinamide mononucleotide, an essential intermediate of the NAD(P) biosynthesis in the cell. These substances 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 substances, and for examination of a given cell type for its dependency on niacinamide as a precursor for NAD synthesis.
本文描述了新的生物活性物质,它们能抑制烟酰胺单核苷酸在细胞中的形成,而烟酰胺单核苷酸是细胞中 NAD(P) 生物合成的重要中间体。这些物质可以作为治疗癌症、白血病或免疫抑制的药物组合物的活性成分。此外,还介绍了筛选方法,作为检测上述活性物质的工具,以及检查特定细胞类型是否依赖烟酰胺作为合成 NAD 的前体。
