“…has made brilliant contributions to the identification of these NAD + metabolites as these ion channels activators/regulators, which have been cited above. More importantly, based on the fact that these ion channels have been regarded as new cancer therapeutic targets, Professor Potter has designed and synthesized a series of ligands/inhibitors of these calcium channels [ 72 , 154 , 155 , 156 , 157 , 158 , 159 , 160 , 161 , 162 , 163 , 164 , 165 , 166 , 167 , 168 ], which certainly play critical roles in the development of anti-cancer drugs targeting these ion channels. In addition, some potassium and sodium channels can also be activated by NAD + and its metabolites, and there are also some calcium channels whose activity can be indirectly affected by NAD + and its metabolites.…”
