Esterase-Sensitive Prodrugs of a Potent Bisubstrate Inhibitor of Nicotinamide <i>N</i>-Methyltransferase (NNMT) Display Cellular Activity

Esterase-Sensitive Prodrugs of a Potent Bisubstrate Inhibitor of Nicotinamide <i>N</i>-Methyltransferase (NNMT) Display Cellular Activity

A recently discovered bisubstrate inhibitor of Nicotinamide <i>N</i>-methyltransferase (NNMT) was found to be highly potent in biochemical assays with a single digit nanomolar IC<sub>50</sub> value but lacking in cellular activity. We, here, report a prodrug strategy designed...
