Abstract excerpt
IDH1-mutant gliomas are dependent upon the canonical coenzyme NAD+ for survival. It is known that PARP activation consumes NAD+ during base excision repair (BER) of chemotherapy-induced DNA damage. We therefore hypothesized that a strategy combining NAD+ biosynthesis inhibitors with the alkylating chemotherapeutic agent temozolomide could potentiate NAD+ depletion-mediated cytotoxicity in mutant IDH1 cancer...
