                                 Compound class: 
                                                            Synthetic organic
                                 
                                    
                                        Comment: This compound is a PROTAC that targets the NAD+ synthesising enzyme nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) to the ubiquitin-proteasome system for degradation [1]. Its NAMPT-binding warhead (inhibitor M049-0244 [2]) is a fluorescent ligand that allows monitoring of degradation within cells, and it uses a VHL ligand to engage the E3 ligase. Reducing intracellular NAD+ levels is an approach that is exploited to inhibit the expansion of rapidly proliferating cancer cells.
