The Arylamine N-Acetyltransferases as Therapeutic Targets in Metabolic Diseases Associated with Mitochondrial Dysfunction

Chandra Choudhury,
Melinder K. Gill,
Courtney E. McAleese
et al.

Abstract: In humans, there are two arylamine N-acetyltransferase genes that encode functional enzymes (NAT1 and NAT2) as well as one pseudogene, all of which are located together on chromosome 8. While they were first identified by their role in the acetylation of drugs and other xenobiotics, recent studies have shown strong associations for both enzymes in a variety of diseases including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. There is growing evidence that this association may be causal. Consistently, NAT1 and N… Show more

“…For example, high NAT1 expression in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis correlates with a hypermetabolic state, which predicts poorer outcomes . Patients with high NAT1 show a significantly shorter survival, suggesting that inhibition of NAT1 may have therapeutic potential. We postulate that Cmp350 may also be useful in diseases where fatty acid oxidation is prevalent since it can switch cell metabolism to a more glucose-dependent phenotype.…”
