Olaparib: an oral PARP-1 and PARP-2 inhibitor with promising activity in ovarian cancer

Abstract: Olaparib (Lynparza™; AZD2281) is a potent PARP-1 and PARP-2 inhibitor with biologic activity in ovarian cancer as well as other solid tumors. It has been tested in Phase I and II trials and has single-agent activity in both germline BRCA mutated and sporadic ovarian cancer. Phase III trials assessing the efficacy of olaparib in the maintenance setting following first line and platinum-sensitive recurrence are underway for patients with a germline BRCA mutation, given the inherent molecular compatibility with t… Show more

“…In the majority of the studies, co-treatment of an HDAC inhibitor with another compound induced the inhibition of tumor growth and showed anti-proliferative effects (46,47,77,84,115,123,138,154). Also, several HDAC inhibitors are assosiated not only with autophagic cell death, but also apoptosis (44,55,70,71,84,97,153). Interestingly, many studies have found that HDAC inhibitors have the ability to convert ER-negative tumors to ER-positive tumors (111,160,161).…”

“…Therefore, targeted therapies increasing the frequency or the persistence of spontaneous DSBs or DSBs induced by treatments such as radiotherapy or chemotherapy have been extensively studied during the last two decades. The most advanced drugs in this field are the Poly(adenosine diphosphate [ADP]-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, with clinical trials showing significant benefits in patients with BRCA mutated ovarian cancer (2). Essentially, cells deficient in BRCA1 or 2 are 100- to 1000-fold more sensitive to PARP inhibitors than BRCA1/2 heterozygote or wild-type cell lines (3)(4).…”

“…One of the PARP inhibitors, olaparib, was recently approved by the FDA to treat BRCA1 and BRCA2 germline-mutated OvCa patients, and other PARPi drugs are undergoing active phase I and II trials [155]. However, BRCA1 and 2 germline mutations only account for approximately 15% of the OvCa patients.…”
