General information

Class/mechanism: PARP (poly-ADP (adenosine diphosphate)–ribose polymerase) inhibitor. PARP participates in the alternative base-excision repair pathway that helps to repair single-strand DNA breaks. PARP is involved in normal cellular homeostasis processes during DNA transcription and cell cycle regulation. By inhibiting PARP1, PARP2, and PARP3, olaparib leads to the accumulation of single-strand breaks. In patients with a concurrent BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation, in which there are also defects in homologous recombination double strand DNA repair, this inhibition of PARP enzymatic activity and formation of the PARP-DNA complex can lead to irrecoverable DNA damage and cell death.[1][2][3] [4]
