Abstract
|
 |
|
Prolonged inhibition of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) is a
strategy for targeting cancer metabolism. Many NAMPT inhibitors undergo
NAMPT-catalyzed phosphoribosylation (pRib), a property often correlated with
their cellular potency. To understand this phenomenon and facilitate drug
design, we analyzed a potent cellularly active NAMPT inhibitor (GNE-617). A
crystal structure of pRib-GNE-617 in complex with NAMPT protein revealed a
relaxed binding mode. Consistently, the adduct formation resulted in tight
binding and strong product inhibition. In contrast, a biochemically equipotent
isomer of GNE-617 (GNE-643) also formed pRib adducts but displayed significantly
weaker cytotoxicity. Structural analysis revealed an altered ligand conformation
of GNE-643, thus suggesting weak association of the adducts with NAMPT. Our data
support a model for cellularly active NAMPT inhibitors that undergo
NAMPT-catalyzed phosphoribosylation to produce pRib adducts that retain
efficient binding to the enzyme.
