Rubraca (rucaparib) Drug Analysis 2018: A Small Molecule Poly (ADP-ribose) Polymerase (PARP) Inhibitor - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Drug Analysis: Rubraca" drug pipelines has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Rubraca is a small molecule poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor developed by Clovis Oncology for the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer patients with known BRCA mutations or other homologous recombination gene alterations.

PARP is an enzyme that plays an essential role in DNA repair mechanisms and homologous recombination events. PARP inhibitors act by directly blocking enzymatic activity, or by causing PARP to accumulate on DNA (PARP trapping), which results in DNA replication inhibition and cell death.

Tumor cells with BRCA1/2 gene mutations are dependent on PARP for DNA damage repair, and PARP inhibition selectively kills BRCA1- or BRCA2-deficient cells.As DNA repair is inhibited by PARP inhibitors, they are often sequenced after a cytotoxic chemotherapy which works by damaging DNA.
