Targeting Poly(ADP-Ribose) Polymerase: A Two-Armed Strategy for Cancer Therapy
1 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
The DNA repair pathways are protective of the host genome in normal cells; however, in cancer cells, these pathways may be disrupted and predispose to tumorigenesis or their activity may overcome the potentially cytotoxic damage caused by anticancer agents and be a mechanism of resistance. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors, which block base excision repair of single-strand breaks, have entered the clinic in...
