Synthetic lethal targeting of DNA double‐strand break repair deficient cells by human apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease inhibitors
29 Feb 2012
Abstract excerpt
An apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site is an obligatory cytotoxic intermediate in DNA Base Excision Repair (BER) that is processed by human AP endonuclease 1 (APE1). APE1 is essential for BER and an emerging drug target in cancer. We have isolated novel small molecule inhibitors of APE1. In this study, we have investigated the ability of APE1 inhibitors to induce synthetic lethality (SL) in a panel of DNA...
