The recent success of Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors has led to the approval four different PARP for treatment BRCA1/2-mutant breast and ovarian cancers. About 40–50% BRCA1/2-mutated patients do not respond due a preexisting innate or intrinsic resistance; majority who initially therapy inevitably develop acquired resistance. However, subsets experience long-term response (>2...

The clinical potential of PARP-1 inhibitors has been recognized >10years ago, prompting intensive research on their pharmacological application in several branches of medicine, particularly in oncology. However, natural or acquired resistance of tumors to known PARP-1 inhibitors poses a serious problem for their clinical implementation. Present study aims to reignite clinical interest to PARP-1...

Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARP inhibitor) is a new targeted drug for metastatic prostate cancer in which the patient has mutation on homologous repair gene including BRCA1/2 gene. This was first gene-based agent and there were more than 5 available drugs PARP inhibitors. Only 4 approved clinical use patients with from U.S. Food Drug Administration. review article deals overview o...

We recently showed that poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors exert their cytotoxicity primarily by trapping PARP-DNA complexes in addition to their NAD(+)-competitive catalytic inhibitory mechanism. PARP trapping is drug-specific, with olaparib exhibiting a greater ability than veliparib, whereas both compounds are potent catalytic PARP inhibitors. Here, we evaluated the combination of...

Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases, abbreviated as PARPs, are a group of familiar proteins that play a central role in DNA repair employing the base excision repair (BER) pathway. There about 17 proteins in this family out of which the primary nuclear PARPs are PARP-1, PARP-2, PARP-3, and tankyrases 1 and 2 (PARP-5a and -5b) .The PARP family members are known to engage in a wide range of cellular ac...

Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is a novel therapeutic target in cancer. Preclinical studies demonstrate that PARP inhibitors selectively kill BRCAdeficient cells and potentiate the effects of DNA-damaging agents. There are several PARP inhibitors in clinical development, including olaparib, iniparib, veliparib, PF01367338, and MK-4827. Phase II studies of single-agent olaparib demonstrate ...

Small-molecule inhibitors of PARP are thought to mediate their antitumor effects as catalytic inhibitors that block repair of DNA single-strand breaks (SSB). However, the mechanism of action of PARP inhibitors with regard to their effects in cancer cells is not fully understood. In this study, we show that PARP inhibitors trap the PARP1 and PARP2 enzymes at damaged DNA. Trapped PARP-DNA complex...

The PARP inhibitors represent one of the most exciting recent developments in cancer therapy. Substantial efficacy has been shown with PARP inhibitors in the treatment of hereditary BRCA1/2 related Breast and Ovarian cancer as single agents [1–3] and in combination with temozolomide [4]. Similarly, encouraging activity has been shown in sporadic ovarian cancer with a PARP inhibitor as a single ...

PURPOSE Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly heterogeneous disease and has the worst outcome among all subtypes of breast cancers. Although PARP inhibitors represent a promising treatment in TNBC with BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations, there is great interest in identifying drug combinations that can extend the use of PARP inhibitors to a majority of TNBC patients with wild-type BRCA1/BRCA2 Her...
