Benzamide is the amide derivative of benzoic acid and an inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1). Benzamide mimics the structure of the nicotinamide portion of the coenzyme NAD+, blocking the function of ADP-ribose transfer from NAD+ to target histone proteins performed by PARP and impeding formation of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymer. PARP activation in response to DNA strand breaks can lead to deleterious depletion of cellular NAD+, and Benzamide was shown to block NMDA- and NO-mediated neurotoxicity in rat brain through PARP inhibition. Benzamide is further demonstrated to partially prevent decreases in striatal levels of NAD+ and ATP produced by neurotoxic amounts of kainic acid.
