KL1333

Description: KL1333 (NQO1 activator 1) enhances energy metabolism and mitochondrial dysfunction in MELAS fibroblasts. Elevated NAD+ levels trigger the activation of SIRT1 and AMPK, and subsequently activates PGC-1alpha. NQO1 activator 1 is an orally available NAD+ modulator. It reacts with NAD(P)H: NQO1 as a substrate, resulting in increases in intracellular NAD+ levels via NADH oxidation. Target: Mitochondrial Metabolism, NADPH. Smiles: CC(C)c1nc-2c([nH]1)C(=O)C(=O)c1ccccc-21. References: Seo KS, et al. KL1333, a Novel NAD+ Modulator, Improves Energy Metabolism and Mitochondrial Dysfunction in MELAS Fibroblasts.
