Abstract
Using high-throughput chemical and genetic screening, Matheny and colleagues (in this issue of Chemistry & Biology) identified STF-118804, an inhibitor of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase, as a cell type-specific inhibitor of mixed-lineage leukemia with MLL chromosomal rearrangements. The approach was powerful, as is the potential for NAD as a specific cancer target.
