Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) has been linked to obesity and diabetes. We have identified a novel nicotinamide (NA) analog, compound 12 that inhibited NNMT enzymatic activity and reduced the formation of 1-methyl-nicotinamide (MNA), the primary metabolite of NA by ～80% at 2 h when dosed in mice orally at 50 mg/kg.

Several novel active principles have been isolated and identified from Chinese herbs in the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica. The syntheses of huperzine A and edulinine are described here. Numerous new compounds have been synthesized by modification of the structures of the natural constituents. Pharmacological examinations showed that some of such compounds were biologically active.
