Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) catalyzes the condensation of nicotinamide (NAM) with 5-phosphoribosyl-1-prophosphate (PRPP) to yield nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a rate limiting enzyme in a mammalian salvage pathway of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) synthesis. Recently, intracellular NAD(+) has received substantial attention due to the recent discovery that several enzymes including poly(ADPribose) polymerases (PARPs), mono(ADP-ribose) transferases (ARTs), and sirtuins (SIRTs), use NAD(+) as a substrate, suggesting that intracellular NAD(+) level may regulate cytokine production, metabolism, and aging through these enzymes. NAMPT is found to be upregulated in various types of cancer, and given its importance in the NAD(+) salvage pathway, NAMPT is considered as an attractive target for the development of new cancer therapies. In this study, the reported NAMPT inhibitors bearing amide, cyanoguanidine, and urea scaffolds were used to generate pharmacophore models and pharmacophore-based virtual screening studies were performed against ZINC database. Following the filtering steps, ten hits were identified and evaluated for their in vitro NAMPT inhibitory effects. Compounds GF4 (NAMPT IC50 = 2.15 +/- 0.22 mu M) and GF8 (NAMPT IC50 = 7.31 +/- 1.59 mu M) were identified as new urea-typed inhibitors of NAMPT which also displayed cytotoxic activities against human HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cell line with IC50 values of 15.20 +/- 1.28 and 24.28 +/- 6.74 mu M, respectively.

Synthesis of chiral acetoxy lactones via the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclic aromatic acetoxy ketones Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Aybey, Asuman (Elsevier BV, 2008-12-01) The alpha-acetoxylation of indanones and tetralones by using Mn(OAc)(3) followed by the enzyme catalyzed kinetic resolution of acetoxy ketones furnished both of the enantiomers of alpha-acetoxy ketones in good chemical and optical yields. The Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of alpha-acetoxy ketones with m-CPBA, CF(3)SO(3)H, and CH(2)O(2), at rt gives the corresponding lactones without racemization. The acetoxy ketone moiety migrates selectively in order to form lactones. The mild hydrolysis of lactones affords ph...
New Steroidal 4-Aminoquinolines Antagonize Botulinum Neurotoxin Serotype A in Mouse Embryonic Stem Cell Derived Motor Neurons in Postintoxication Model. Konstantinović, J; Kiriş, Erkan; Kota, KP; Kugelman-Tonos, J; Videnović, M; Cazares, LH; Terzić, Jovanović; Verbić, TŽ; Andjelković, B; Duplantier, AJ; Bavari, S; Šolaja, BA (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2018-02-22) The synthesis and inhibitory potencies against botulinum neurotoxin serotype A light chain (BoNT/A LC) using in vitro HPLC based enzymatic assay for various steroidal, benzothiophene, thiophene, and adamantane 4-aminoquinoline derivatives are described. In addition, the compounds were evaluated for the activity against BoNT/A holotoxin in mouse embryonic stem cell derived motor neurons. Steroidal derivative 16 showed remarkable protection (up to 89% of uncleaved SNAP-25) even when administered 30 min postin...
Synthesis of the possible carcinogenic dihydrodiol and diol epoxide of phthalazine Ozer, G; Saracoglu, N; Menzek, A; Balcı, Metin (Elsevier BV, 2005-02-07) Inverse-Diels-Alder reaction of dimethyl 1,2,4,5 -tetrazine-3,6-dicarboxylate with benzene cis-diol gave dihydrodiol coninini 2 the 1,4-dihydropyridazine ring. Attempts at oxidation of the dihydropyridazine ring with PIFA and MnO2, resulted in the formation of 5- and 5,6-dihydroxy-phthalazine derivatives. The oxidation of the dihydropyfidazine ring was achieved by way of photooxygenation. The phthalazine type dihydrodiol is unstable and easily undergoes aromatization. The Diels-Alder reaction of tetrazine w...
Coupling of cyclopropylcarbene-chromium complex with ferrocenyl alkynes: synthesis of 5-ferrocenyl-5-hydroxy-2-cyclopentenones and 4-ferrocenyl-4-cyclopentene-1,3-diones Zora, Metin; Bueyuekguengoer, Orhan (Elsevier BV, 2007-05-07) The coupling of ferrocenyl alkynes with cyclopropylcarbene-chromium complex leads to ferrocenyl-substituted 2-cyclopentenones with or without a hydroxy substituent, namely 4-cyclopentene-1,3-diones, 2-cyclobutenones, and alpha, beta-unsaturated aldehydes in varying amounts. The reaction initially produces a cyclopentadienone intermediate, then to the double bond of which, bearing a ferrocenyl group, addition of water occurs to afford hydroxy-substituted 2-cyclopentenones. In all the products, the hydroxy gr...
PURIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF 2 FORMS OF SOLUBLE NADH CYTOCHROME-B5 REDUCTASES FROM HUMAN ERYTHROCYTES ARINC, E; Güray, Nülüfer Tülün; SAPLAKOGLU, U; Adalı, Orhan (Elsevier BV, 1992-01-01) 1. Two forms of soluble NADH cytochrome b5 reductase were purified from human erythrocytes. Two distinct fractions both having the NADH cytochrome b5 reductase activity eluted from the second DEAE-cellulose column were further purified by ultrafiltration and 5'-ADP-agarose affinity chromatography.
