PARP-targeting Prodrug Development

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors have emerged as a significant advancement in cancer therapy, particularly for tumors with deficiencies in homologous recombination repair, such as those involving BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations. To address these challenges, Alfa Cytology is dedicated to provideding PARP-targeting prodrug development services for combating various diseases for our clients.

Introduction to PARP-targeting Prodrug

PARP inhibitors exploit the concept of synthetic lethality, where the inhibition of PARP leads to cell death in the presence of DNA repair deficiencies. Despite their therapeutic potential, some PARP inhibitors are limited by poor pharmacokinetic properties and significant side effects, including hematologic toxicity.

To address these challenges, the development of PARP-targeting prodrugs has gained traction. Prodrugs are pharmacologically inactive compounds that convert into active drugs through metabolic processes. This strategy aims to enhance drug solubility, improve bioavailability, and minimize toxicity, making it a promising avenue for optimizing PARP inhibitors.
