decreased cell viability and induced DNA damage by an increase in pH2AX in ovarian cancer cells. ATRi with ATRIN119 had similar antiproliferative effects to PARPi in BRCA-mutant ovarian cancer cells. ATRIN119 had antitumor effects with minimal toxicity using a novel BRCA2-mutant patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model supporting a possible synthetic lethality mechanism. Conclusions: Strategies to optimize approaches capitalizing on synthetic lethality in HR-deficient ovarian cancers are needed. ATR inhibition with ATRIN119 is a viable therapeutic option and further preclinical work is ongoing to optimize bioavailability and to identify the maximum tolerated dose.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
