Structure based design of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) inhibitors from a phenotypic screen

Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase is a key metabolic enzyme that is a potential target for oncology. Utilizing publicly available crystal structures of NAMPT and in silico docking of our internal compound library, a NAMPT inhibitor, 1, obtained from a phenotypic screening effort was replaced with a more synthetically tractable scaffold. This compound then provided an excellent foundation for further optimization using crystallography driven structure based drug design. From this approach, two key motifs were identified, the (S,S) cyclopropyl carboxamide and the (S)-1-N-phenylethylamide that endowed compounds with excellent cell based potency. As exemplified by compound 27e such compounds could be useful tools to explore NAMPT biology in vivo.

Benzamide compounds as apo b secretion inhibitors

The present invention relates to compounds of the formula (I) wherein R1 and R2 are each independently lower alkyl lower alkenyl, acyl, amino, lower alkoxy, lower cycloalkyloxy, aryl, aryloxy, sulfooxy, mercapto, sulfo, hydrogen, halogen, nitro, cyano or hydroxy, or may form a ring structure; Q1 is N or CH; L is optionally substituted unsaturated 3 to 10-membered heterocyclic group; X is optionally substituted monocyclic arylene or monocyclic heteroarylene; Y is -(A1)m-(A2)n-(A4)k-; Z is directbond, —CH2-, —NH— or —O—; and R is hydrogen or lower alkyl, or a salt thereof The compounds of the present invention inhibit apolipoprotein B (Apo B) secretion and are useful as a medicament for prophylactic and treatment of diseases or conditions resulting from elevated circulating levels of Apo B.
