Abstract:Objectives. Veliparib (ABT), a PARP1/2 inhibitor, has been studied in ovarian adenocarcinoma treatment, particularly in conjunction with platinum therapy, and sensitizes cells to cisplatin (Cis). Pifithrin-α (PFT), a transcriptional inhibitor of p53, sensitizes p53 wild-type ovarian cancer cells to antimicrotubule agent-induced apoptosis. No studies have evaluated the interaction of PFT with platinum drugs or PARP inhibitors. We evaluated the potential synergistic interactions between PFT and ABT/Cis in p53 in… Show more
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.
