What is PARP1 trapping?

SUMMARY. PARP1 is a poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzyme that plays a critical role in regulating DNA damage response. The main enzymatic function of PARP1 is to catalyze a protein post-translational modification known as poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation).

Which of the PARP inhibitors is the most potent at trapping PARP?

Our study demonstrates that BMN 673 is the most potent clinical PARP inhibitor tested to date with the highest efficiency at trapping PARP-DNA complexes.

How do PARP inhibitors work?

PARP inhibitors are a type of cancer drug. PARP stands for poly adenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase, a type of enzyme that helps repair DNA damage in cells. PARP inhibitors work by preventing cancer cells from repairing, allowing them to die. These drugs are a type of targeted therapy.

Are PARP inhibitors cytotoxic?

PARP1 Trapping by PARP Inhibitors Drives Cytotoxicity in Both Cancer Cells and Healthy Bone Marrow. Mol Cancer Res. 2019 Feb;17(2):409-419. doi: 10.1158/1541-7786.

What is the best PARP inhibitor?

In 2014, olaparib became the first PARPi approved by the FDA for use as treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer, followed by rucaparib in 2016 and niraparib in 2019.

What are the side effects of PARP inhibitors?

Side effects of PARP inhibitors Side effects of these drugs can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, loss of appetite, taste changes, low red blood cell counts (anemia), belly pain, and muscle and joint pain.

What are PARP inhibitor drugs?

PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted cancer drug. They are a treatment for some women with ovarian cancer. They are also in trials as a treatment for other types of cancer. Olaparib, niraparib and rucaparib are all examples of PARP inhibitors.

How successful are PARP inhibitors?

The results indicated that PARP inhibitors significantly improved PFS for ovarian cancer with PFI of >12 months, 6–12 months, and >6 months (HR = 0.39, 95% CI = 0.31–0.48; HR = 0.40, 95% CI = 0.27–0.57; HR = 0.38; 95% CI = 0.32–0.44, respectively).

How long can you stay on PARP inhibitors?

We often have long discussions among ourselves and with the patients about how long to continue PARP inhibitors. Some studies continue them for up to 2 years. Niraparib has been continued for up to 3 years.

Are PARP inhibitors safe?

Currently-approved PARP inhibitors carry a similar overall safety profile, with a class effect noted for all grade nausea/vomiting, grade ≥3 anaemia, and grade ≥3 fatigue [1, 2].
