MODULATING NUDIX HOMOLOGY DOMAIN (NHD) WITH NICOTINAMIDE MONONUCLEOTIDE ANALOGS AND DERIVATIVES OF SAME

摘要

The invention provides methods of modulating and regulating NHD protein-protein interactions through nicotinamide mononucleotide, analogs and derivatives thereof, such as NAD+. Such modulation may be useful in methods of treating and preventing cancer, aging, cell death, radiation damage, radiation exposure, among others, may improve DNA repair, cell proliferation, cell survival, among others, and may increase the life span of a cell or protect it against certain stresses, among others
