NAMPT and NAPRT, Key Enzymes in NAD Salvage Synthesis Pathway, Are of Negative Prognostic Value in Colorectal Cancer

Frontiers in Oncology, 2019
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a profoundly important cofactor in redox reactions. Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) and nicotinate phosphoribosyltransferase (NAPRT) are key enzymes for NAD salvage biosynthesis pathway, which ...

Identification of Melatonin-Regulated Genes in the Ovine Pituitary Pars Tuberalis, a Target Site for Seasonal Hormone Control [PDF]

, 2008
The pars tuberalis (PT) of the pituitary gland expresses a high density of melatonin (MEL) receptors and is believed to regulate seasonal physiology by decoding changes in nocturnal melatonin secretion.

Synergistic RU486 and olaparib therapy enhances apoptosis in endometriosis by simultaneously targeting hormonal signalling and DNA repair

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 11, Page 2947-2968, June 2026.
Background and Purpose Endometriosis is a chronic, hormone‐dependent disorder characterized by ectopic implantation of endometrial tissue, often accompanied by pain and infertility. Although the progesterone receptor modulator RU486 is effective for pain relief, its impact on lesion regression is limited, possibly due to apoptosis resistance and ...

Genome‐Guided Discovery of Antimalarial 4‐Amino‐2,4‐Pentadienoate‐Containing Cyclolipodepsipeptides

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 18, 27 April 2026.
Halogenated and glycosylated 4‐amino‐2,4‐pentadienoate‐containing cyclolipodepsipeptides (APD‐CLDs) exhibit potent antiplasmodial activity (IC50 = 25–161 nM) against drug‐sensitive and resistant Plasmodium falciparum strains. ABSTRACT 4‐Amino‐2,4‐pentadienoate‐containing cyclolipodepsipeptides (APD‐CLDs) represent a structurally distinctive family of ...

Quantification of SARM1 NADase Activity in Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 9, 15 May 2026.
Proposed model for NAD+ metabolism in (A) control and (B) SARM1 activated PBMCs. In native form, 3‐AP and Vacor compete with NAM as an alternative substrate for NAMPT. This consequently decreases generation of NMN and biosynthesis of NAD+ is limited by both a reduction in precursor NMN and direct inhibition of NMNAT by Vacor‐MN and 3‐AP‐MN.

Vitamin D and calcium metabolism in horses in New Zealand : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Veterinary Science at Institute of Veterinary, Animal and Biomedical Sciences (IVABS), Massey University, Manawatū, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2016
The physiology of vitamin D in horses has not been studied in great depth. Few studies on vitamin D metabolites (25OHD2, 25OHD3, and 1,25(OH)2D) and their relationship to other serum analytes exist. In addition, some studies suggest that equine vitamin D

Feeding Stimulates Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Mobilization in Mouse Hypothalamus. [PDF]

, 2019
Previous studies have shown that the sphingolipid-derived mediator sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) reduces food intake by activating G protein-coupled S1P receptor-1 (S1PR1) in the hypothalamus.

Targeting TNBC: core–shell polycationic polyurea dendrimers with inherent anticancer activity

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 5, Page 944-965, May 2026.
Core–shell polycationic PURE dendrimers were tested in TNBC‐derived tumor models. Both formulations selectively targeted TNBC and effectively reduced tumor volume. PUREG4‐OEI48 suppressed tumor growth without detectable toxicity, whereas PUREG4‐OCEI24, despite showing efficacy, induced hepatic toxicity.
