Abstract: Potent, reversible inhibition of the cytochrome P450 CYP2C9 isoform was observed in a series of urea-containing nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) inhibitors. This unwanted property was successfully removed from the described inhibitors through a combination of structure-based design and medicinal chemistry activities. An optimized compound which did not inhibit CYP2C9 exhibited potent anti-NAMPT activity (17; BC NAMPT IC50=3 nM; A2780 antiproliferative IC50=70 nM), good mouse PK properties, and was efficacious in an A2780 mouse xenograft model. The crystal structure of this compound in complex with the NAMPT protein is also described.
