Abstract: The invention relates to methods of treating diseases, particularly cancers, that respond favorably to the inhibition of Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt); it also relates to therapeutic methods that utilize Nampt inhibitors in combination with NAD biosynthesis precursors to intentionally kill cancer cells while limiting or minimizing toxicity to normal host cells; and it relates to methods of identifying cancers that will be most responsive to treatment with Nampt inhibitors, particularly when administered in combination with nicotinic acid.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the discovery of novel protein-protein interactions that are involved in mammalian physiological pathways, including physiological disorders or diseases. Examples of physiological disorders and diseases include non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's Disease (AD), and the like. Thus, the present invention is directed to complexes of these proteins and/or their fragments, antibodies to the complexes, diagnosis of physiological generative disorders (including diagnosis of a predisposition to and diagnosis of the existence of the disorder), drug screening for agents which modulate the interaction of proteins described herein, and identification of additional proteins in the pathway common to the proteins described herein.
