[PARP inhibitors--theoretical basis and clinical application].

Abstract excerpt

Poly-ADP-ribose polymerases (PARP) are involved in a number of processes that are vital for every living cell. Once activated by the presence of DNA damage they trigger poly-ADP-ribosylation of various proteins which are crucial for DNA repair, preserving of genom integrity, regulation of transcription, proliferation and apoptosis. PARP1, which is the best known enzyme of PARP protein family, plays a role in...
