General information

Class/mechanism: PARP inhibitor. Rucaparib inhibits activity of the poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes--including PARP-1, PARP-2, and PARP-3--and interferes with PARP-mediated DNA repair. PARP inhibitor cytotoxicity is believed to involve formation of PARP-DNA complexes, DNA damage, apotosis, and cell death. This cytotoxicity was observed to have increased cytotoxicity in cells with mutations in BRCA1, BRCA2, and other DNA repair genes.[1][2][3][4]
