Abstract
Cancer poses a significant threat to human health. Therefore, it is urgent to develop potent anti-cancer drugs with excellent inhibitory activity and no toxic side effects. Pyrrole and its derivatives are privileged heterocyclic compounds with significant diverse pharmacological effects. These compounds can target various aspects of cancer cells and have been applied in clinical settings or are undergoing clinical trials. As a result, pyrrole has emerged as a promising drug scaffold and has been further probed to get novel entities for the treatment of cancer. This article reviews recent research progress on anti-cancer drugs containing pyrrole. It focuses on the mechanism of action, biological activity, and structure-activity relationships of pyrrole derivatives, aiming to assist in designing and synthesizing innovative pyrrole-based anti-cancer compounds.

Abstract
Eukaryotic organisms contain an enzyme family called poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs), which is responsible for the poly (ADP-ribosylation) of DNA-binding proteins. PARPs are members of the cell signaling enzyme class. PARP-1, the most common isoform of the PARP family, is responsible for more than 90% of the tasks carried out by the PARP family as a whole. A superfamily consisting of 18 PARPs has been found. In order to synthesize polymers of ADP-ribose (PAR) and nicotinamide, the DNA damage nick monitor PARP-1 requires NAD+ as a substrate. The capability of PARP-1 activation to boost the transcription of proinflammatory genes, its ability to deplete cellular energy pools, which leads to cell malfunction and necrosis, and its involvement as a component in the process of DNA repair are the three consequences of PARP-1 activation that are of particular significance in the process of developing new drugs. As a result, the pharmacological reduction of PARP-1 may result in an increase in the cytotoxicity toward cancer cells.

Abstract
Matrix Metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9) is one of the important targets that play a vital role in various diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's, arthritis, etc. Traditionally, MMP-9 inhibitors have been unable to achieve selectivity to get around this target; thereby, novel mechanisms such as inhibition of activated MMP-9 zymogen (pro-MMP-9) have been discovered. The JNJ0966 was one of the few compounds that attained the requisite selectivity by inhibiting the activation of MMP-9 zymogen (pro-MMP-9). Since JNJ0966, no other small molecules have been identified. Herein, extensive in silico studies were called upon to bolster the prospect of exploring potential candidates. The key objective of this research is to identify the potential hits from the ChEMBL database via molecular docking and dynamics approach. Protein with PDB ID: 5UE4, having a unique inhibitor in an allosteric binding pocket of MMP-9, was chosen for the study. Structure-based virtual screening and MMGBSA binding affinity calculations were performed, and five potential hits were finalized. Detailed analysis of the best-scoring molecules was performed with ADMET analysis and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. All five hits outperformed JNJ0966 in the docking assessment, ADMET analysis, and molecular dynamics simulation. Accordingly, our research findings imply that these hits can be investigated for in vitro and in vivo studies against proMMP9 and might be explored as potential anticancer drugs. The outcome of our research might contribute in expediting the exploration of drugs that inhibits proMMP-9.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

PARP Inhibitors and Myeloid Neoplasms: A Double-Edged Sword. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13246385. [PMID: 34945003 PMCID: PMC8699275 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13246385] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2021] [Revised: 12/13/2021] [Accepted: 12/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, which are medications approved to treat various solid tumors, including breast, prostate, ovarian, and prostate cancers, are being examined in hematological malignancies. This review summarizes the potential role of PARP inhibitors in the treatment of myeloid diseases, particularly acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We review ongoing clinical studies investigating the safety and efficacy of PARP inhibitors in the treatment of AML, focusing on specific molecular and genetic AML subgroups that could be particularly sensitive to PARP inhibitor treatment. We also discuss reports describing an increased risk of treatment-related myeloid neoplasms in patients receiving PARP inhibitors for solid tumors. Abstract Despite recent discoveries and therapeutic advances in aggressive myeloid neoplasms, there remains a pressing need for improved therapies. For instance, in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), while most patients achieve a complete remission with conventional chemotherapy or the combination of a hypomethylating agent and venetoclax, de novo or acquired drug resistance often presents an insurmountable challenge, especially in older patients. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes, PARP1 and PARP2, are involved in detecting DNA damage and repairing it through multiple pathways, including base excision repair, single-strand break repair, and double-strand break repair. In the context of AML, PARP inhibitors (PARPi) could potentially exploit the frequently dysfunctional DNA repair pathways that, similar to deficiencies in homologous recombination in BRCA-mutant disease, set the stage for cell killing. PARPi appear to be especially effective in AML with certain gene rearrangements and molecular characteristics (RUNX1-RUNX1T1 and PML-RARA fusions, FLT3- and IDH1-mutated). In addition, PARPi can enhance the efficacy of other agents, particularly alkylating agents, TOP1 poisons, and hypomethylating agents, that induce lesions ordinarily repaired via PARP1-dependent mechanisms. Conversely, emerging reports suggest that long-term treatment with PARPi for solid tumors is associated with an increased incidence of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and AML. Here, we (i) review the pre-clinical and clinical data on the role of PARPi, specifically olaparib, talazoparib, and veliparib, in aggressive myeloid neoplasms and (ii) discuss the reported risk of MDS/AML with PARPi, especially as the indications for PARPi use expand to include patients with potentially curable cancer.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP) is a significant therapeutic target for the treatment of numerous human diseases. Olaparib has been approved as a PARP inhibitor. In this paper, a series of new compounds were designed and synthesized with Olaparib as the lead compound. In order to evaluate the inhibitory activities against PARP1 of the synthesized compounds, in vitro PARP1 inhibition assay and intracellular PARylation assay were conducted. The results showed that the inhibitory activities of the derivatives were related to the type of substituent and the length of alkyl chain connecting the aromatic ring. 3-(4,5-Dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT)-based assay also proved that these compounds demonstrating strong inhibition to PARP1 also have high anti-proliferative activities against BRCA2-deficient cell line (Capan-1). Analysis of the entire results suggest that compound 23 with desirable inhibitory efficiency may hold promise for further in vivo exploration of PARP inhibition.

Abstract
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) acts as an essential DNA repair enzyme. PARP inhibitors are novel small molecule targeted drugs based on the principle of "Synthetic Lethality", which affect DNA repair process by competitively inhibiting the activity of PARP enzyme and thereby kill cancer cells. Currently, four PARP inhibitors including olaparib, rucaparib, niraparib, and talazoparib have been approved by FDA for cancer treatment and have achieved great success in the treatment of ovarian cancer, breast cancer, and pancreatic cancer, etc. This paper provides a general overview of the research progress of PARP inhibitors including the major structure types, structure-activity relationship (SAR), and synthetic routes, with the aim of providing ideas for the discovery and synthesis of novel PARP inhibitors.

Abstract
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, which induce synthetic lethality of BRCA mutant breast and ovarian cancers, are now under active exploration for treatment of acute leukemias, specifically acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Experimental data has revealed that DNA repair deficiencies similar to those found in BRCA mutant solid tumors function in malignant hematopoietic cells to enhance cell survival and promote therapy resistance. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that inhibition of PARP with a variety of agents can dramatically enhance the efficacy of other therapeutic approaches including cytotoxic and epigenetic chemotherapy, small molecule inhibitors (IDH and FLT3 inhibitors) and antibody drug conjugates. This has led to early stage clinical trials of multiple PARP inhibitors (PARPi) for AML patients. Despite small patient numbers, evidence of modest clinical efficacy and tolerability in combinatorial regimens support the further development of PARP inhibition as a novel therapeutic strategy for AML, particularly in select molecular subsets (MLL rearranged, FLT3 and IDH1 mutant disease.

Abstract
Introduction: The implementation of poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors for therapy has created potential treatments for a wide spectrum of malignancies involving DNA damage repair gene abnormalities. PARPs are a group of enzymes that are responsible for detecting and repairing DNA damage and therefore play a key role in maintaining cell function and integrity. PARP inhibitors are drugs that target DNA repair deficiencies. Inhibiting PARP activity in cancer cells causes cell death. Areas covered: This review summarizes the role of PARP inhibitors in the treatment of cancer. We performed a systematic literature search in February 2019 in the electronic databases PubMed and EMBASE. Our search terms were the following: PARP, PARP inhibitors, PARPi, Poly ADP ribose polymerase, cancer treatment. We discuss PARP inhibitors currently being investigated in cancer clinical trials, their safety profiles, clinical resistance, combined therapeutic approaches and future challenges. Expert Opinion: The future could bring novel PARP inhibitors with greater DNA trapping potential, better safety profiles and improved combined therapies involving hormonal, chemo-, radio- or immunotherapies. Progress may afford wider indications for PARP inhibitors in the treatment of cancer and the utilization for cancer prevention in high-risk mutation carriers. Research efforts should focus on identifying novel drugs that target DNA repair deficiencies.

Abstract
PARP1 inhibitors (PARPis) are used clinically during cancer therapy and are thought to exert their cytotoxicity through PARP1 polymerase inhibition and PARP1-DNA trapping. Here, we showed no significant correlation between PARP1-DNA trapping and cytotoxicity induced by PARPis. We complemented PARP1-knockout sublines with wild-type PARP1 and 11 mutants with different point mutations that affect the polymerase activity. When examining the PARPi talazoparib, the induced cytotoxicity was highly significantly correlated with cellular PARP1 polymerase activity, but not with its PARP1-DNA trapping or polymerase inhibition. Similarly, talazoparib's PARP1-DNA trapping revealed significant correlation with the polymerase activity rather than its inhibition. Differently, however, when evaluating purified wild-type and mutated PARP1, we identified an almost linear relationship between PARPis' inhibiting PARP1 dissociation from DNA and their cytotoxicity in 17 cancer cell lines. In contrast, no significant correlation existed between PARP1 polymerase inhibition in the histone-based systems and the cytotoxicity. After careful comparisons on different methods and detection targets, we conclude that the PARPi-mediated increase in PARP1-DNA binding by inhibiting autoPARylation of PARP1 on DNA rather than in PARP1-DNA trapping is correlated with PARPi's cytotoxicity. Accordingly, we established a new PARPi screening model that more closely predicts cytotoxicity.

Abstract
The finding of promising drugs represents a huge challenge in cancer therapeutics, therefore it is important to seek out novel approaches and elucidate essential cellular processes in order to identify potential drug targets. Studies on DNA repair pathway suggested that an enzyme, PARP, which plays a significant role in DNA repair responses, could be targeted in cancer therapy. Hence, the efficacy of PARP inhibitors in cancer therapy has been investigated and has progressed from the laboratory to clinics, with olaparib having already been approved by the US FDA for ovarian cancer treatment. Here, we have discussed the development of PARP inhibitors, strategies to improve their selectivity and efficacy, including innovative combinational and synthetic lethality approaches to identify effective PARP inhibitors in cancer treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION PARP inhibitors have been extensively explored as antitumor agents and have shown potent efficacy both in vitro and in vivo. They can be used in monotherapy under the synthetic lethality concept or in combination with radiotherapy or chemotherapy, inducing a synergistic effect. Areas covered: This review covers relevant efforts in the development of PARP inhibitors with a particular focus on recently patented PARP inhibitors, combination therapy involving PARP inhibitors, tumor responsiveness to PARP inhibitors as detailed in reports made from 2013 - 2015, and PARP drugs in clinical trials and other novel inhibitors that emerged in 2013 - 2015. Expert opinion: Clinical studies and applications of PARP inhibitors as antitumor agents have gained considerable recognition in the last few years. In addition to FDA-approved olaparib, an increasing number of new inhibitors have been designed and synthesized, some of which are under preclinical or clinical evaluation. Novel inhibitors are still required, especially new scaffold compounds or drugs with improved properties, such as higher selectivity, higher potency and lower toxicity. The development of combination therapies involving PARP inhibitors and the exploration of biomarkers to predict outcomes with PARP inhibitors would expand the applications of these inhibitors, allowing more patients to benefit from this promising class of drugs in the future.

Abstract
A series of novel 5-fluorine-benzimidazole-4-carboxamide analogs were designed and synthesized. All target compounds were evaluated for their PARP-1 inhibitory activity. Compounds possessed high intrinsic PARP-1 inhibitory potency have been evaluated in vitro cellular assays to measure the potentiation effect of cytotoxic agents against cancer cell line. These efforts led to the identification of compound 10f, which displayed strong inhibition against the PARP-1 enzyme with an IC50 of 43.7nM, excellent cell inhibitory activity in HCT116 cells (IC50=7.4μM) and potentiation of temozolomide cytotoxicity in cancer cell line A549 (PF50=1.6).
