Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) is an enzyme that catalyses the methylation of nicotinamide to form N′-methylnicotinamide. Both NNMT and its methylated product have recently been linked to a variety of diseases, suggesting a role for the enzyme as a therapeutic target beyond its previously ascribed metabolic function in detoxification. We here describe the systematic development of NNMT inhibitors derived from the structures of the substrates involved in the methylation reaction. By covalently linking fragments of the NNMT substrates a diverse library of bisubstrate-like compounds was prepared. The ability of these compounds to inhibit NNMT was evaluated providing valuable insights into the structural tolerances of the enzyme active site. These studies led to the identification of new NNMT inhibitors that mimic the transition state of the methylation reaction and inhibit the enzyme with activity on par with established methyltransferase inhibitors.

(E)-3-[[[[6-(2-Carboxyethenyl)-5-[[8-(4-methoxyphenyl)octyl]oxy]-2- pyridinyl]-methyl]thio]methyl]benzoic acid (11, SB 201993) is a novel, potent LTB4 receptor antagonist. Compound 11 arose from a structure-activity study of a series of trisubstituted pyridines that demonstrated LTB4 receptor antagonist activity. The placement of an additional methylene unit in the sulfur containing chain linking the pyridine and benzoic acid moieties of lead compound 8 (K(i) = 80 nM) resulted in a greater than 10-fold increase in receptor affinity. Additionally, in this new series of compounds, the oxidation state of the sulfur was found to be critical to the activity, i.e., the sulfoxide and sulfone showed substantially lower affinity for the LTB4 receptor. Compound 11 competitively inhibits the binding of [3H]LTB4 to LTB4 receptors on human polymorphonuclear leukocutes with a K(i) of 7.1 nM and blocks both the LTB4-induced calcium mobilization and the LTB4-induced degranulation responses in these cells with IC50 values of 131 and 271 nM, respectively. Compound 11 demonstrated oral LTB4 antagonist activity as well as topical antiinflammatory activity in the mouse.
