to reduce the level of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the ischemic brain tissue[4]
Actions biochimiques/physiologiques
FK866 is a potent inhibitor of NAD biosynthesis, and a specific inhibitor of NAMPT (Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase, visfatin, PBEF). NAMPT functions as an intra-cellular and extra-cellular NAD biosynthetic enzyme that is important for regulating metabolism and stress resistance through sirtuins and other NAD-consuming regulators. NAMPT also acts as a cytokine independent of its enzymatic activity, playing a major part in regulating immune responses.

FK866 is an inhibitor of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), which exhibits neuroprotective effects in ischemic brain injury. However, in traumatic brain injury (TBI), the role and mechanism of FK866 remain unclear. The present research was aimed to investigate whether FK866 could

Phosphatidylserine is a marker for axonal debris engulfment but its exposure can be decoupled from degeneration
Through evolution, eukaryote organisms have developed the ability to use different molecules as independent precursors to generate nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), an essential molecule for life. However, whether these different precursors act in an additive or complementary manner is not
