Abstract
In recent years, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibition has become a promising therapeutic option for several tumors, especially for those harboring a BRCA 1-2 mutation or a deficit in the homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway. Nevertheless, to date, PARP inhibitors are still not largely used for thoracic malignancies neither as a single agent nor in combination with other treatments. Recently, a deeper understanding of HRR mechanisms, alongside the development of new targeted and immunotherapy agents, particularly against HRR-deficient tumors, traced the path to new treatment strategies for many tumor types including lung cancer and malignant pleural mesothelioma. The aim of this review is to sum up the current knowledge about cancer-DNA damage response pathways inhibition and to update the status of recent clinical trials investigating the use of PARP inhibitors, either as monotherapy or in combination with other agents for the treatment of thoracic malignancies. We will also briefly discuss available evidence on Poly(ADP-Ribose) Glycohydrolase (PARG) inhibitors, a novel promising therapeutic option in oncology.

Abstract
Platinum (Pt) drugs have developed rapidly in clinical applications because of their broad and highly effective antitumor effects. In recent years, with the rapid development of immunotherapy, Pt-based antitumor agents have gained new challenges and opportunities. Since the discovery of their pharmacological effects in immunotherapy and tumor microenvironment regulation, research into Pt drugs has progressed to multi-ligand and multi-functional Pt precursors and their own shortcomings have been further highlighted. With the development of antitumor immunotherapy and the rise of combination therapy, the development of Pt-based drugs has started to move in the direction of multi-targeting, nanocarrier modification, immunotherapy and photodynamic therapy. In this paper, we first overview the recent applications of Pt-based drugs in antitumor inorganic chemistry, with a focus on summarizing the application of Pt-based drugs and their precursors in the anticancer immune response. The paper also provides a reasonable outlook on the future development of Pt-based drugs from the chemical and immunological perspectives, relying on the existing content and problems of Pt-based drug development. On the basis of the gathered information, joint multidisciplinary programs on implementing comprehensive immune analyses for the future development of novel anticancer metal compounds should be initiated.

Abstract
In this commentary, using existing clinical trial data and FDA approvals we propose that there is currently a critical need for an appropriate balancing between the financial impact of new cancer drugs and their actual benefit for patients. By adopting "pleural mesothelioma" as our clinical model we summarize the most relevant pertinent and available literature on this topic, and use an analysis of the reliability of the trials submitted for registration and/or recently published as a case in point to raise concerns with respect to appropriate trial design, biomarker based stratification and to highlight the ongoing need for balancing the benefit/cost ratio for both patients and healthcare providers.

The role of Platinum(IV)-based antitumor drugs and the anticancer immune response in medicinal inorganic chemistry. A systematic review from 2017 to 2022. Eur J Med Chem 2022; 243:114680.

Abstract
Platinum-based antitumor drugs have been used in many types of tumors due to its broad antitumor spectrum in clinic. Encouraged by the cisplatin's (CDDP) worldwide success in cancer chemotherapy, the research in platinum-based antitumor drugs has evolved from traditional platinum drug to multi-ligand and multifunctional platinum prodrugs over half a century. With the rapid development of metal drugs and the anticancer immune response, challenges and opportunities in platinum drug research have been shifted from traditional platinum-based drugs to platinum-based hybrids and the direction of development is tending toward photodynamic therapy, nano-delivery therapy, drug combination, targeted therapy, diagnostic therapy, immune-combination therapy and tumor stem cell therapy. In this review, we first exhaustively overviewed the role of platinum-based antitumor prodrugs and the anticancer immune response in medicinal inorganic chemistry based on the special nanomaterials, the modification of specific ligands, and the multiple functions obtained that are beneficial for tumor therapy in the last five years. We also categorized them according to drug potency and function. There hasn't been a comprehensive evaluation of precursor platinum drugs in prior articles. And a multifarious approach to distinguish and detail the variety of alterations of platinum-based precursors in various valence states also hasn't been summarized. In addition, this review points out the main problems at the interface of chemistry, biology, and medicine from their action mechanisms for current platinum drug development, and provides up-to-date potential strategies from drug design perspectives to circumvent those drawbacks. And a promising idea is also enlightened for researchers in the development and discovery of platinum prodrugs.

Abstract
Octahedral Pt(IV) prodrugs are an effective way to combine cisplatin-like moieties and a second drug to obtain selective and stimuli responsive bifunctional antiproliferative compounds. Recently, two bifunctional Pt(IV) complexes have shown interesting in vitro and in vivo effects in glioblastoma, the most aggressive primary brain tumor. An interesting observation indicates that 4,5-dihydroxy-9,10-dioxo-9,10-dihydroanthracene-2-carboxylic acid (rhein) can inhibit in vivo glioma tumor progression. Furthermore, a prodrug in which cisplatin was combined with two molecules of rhein showed a potency higher than that of cisplatin toward cisplatin-resistant lung carcinoma cells. However, the high lipophilicity of this type of complex affects their solubility and bioavailability. To overcome these limits, in the present work, three Pt(IV) derivatives were obtained by differently linking one molecule of rhein and one acetato ligand at the axial position to a cisplatin core. The complexes proved to be similar to or more potent than the parent cisplatin and rhein, and the reference drug temozolomide on two human glioblastoma cell lines (U87-MG and T98G). They retained their activity under hypoxia and caused a significant reduction in the motility of both cell lines, which can be related to their ability to inhibit MMP2 and MMP9 matrix metalloproteinases. Finally, physicochemical and computational studies indicated that these Pt(IV) derivatives are more prone than rhein to cross the blood-brain barrier.
