Topoisomerase I inhibitors : camptothecins and beyond

Yves Pommier
TL;DR: The mechanisms and molecular determinants of tumour response to TOP1 inhibitor are reviewed, and rational combinations of TOP1 inhibitors with other drugs are considered based on current knowledge of repair and checkpoint pathways that are associated with TOP1-mediated DNA damage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Trapping of PARP1 and PARP2 by Clinical PARP Inhibitors

TL;DR: This study shows that PARP inhibitors trap the PARP1 and PARP2 enzymes at damaged DNA, providing a new mechanistic foundation for the rational application ofPARP inhibitors in cancer therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA topoisomerases and their poisoning by anticancer and antibacterial drugs.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the molecular and biochemical characteristics of topoisomerases and their inhibitors and discusses the common mechanism of action ofTopoisomerase poisons by interfacial inhibition and trapping of topisomerase cleavage complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI

A gene expression database for the molecular pharmacology of cancer

TL;DR: Gene-drug relationships for the clinical agents 5-fluorouracil and L-asparaginase exemplify how variations in the transcript levels of particular genes relate to mechanisms of drug sensitivity and resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

γH2AX and cancer

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used histone H2AX phosphorylation on a serine four residues from the carboxyl terminus (producing gammaH2AX) as a sensitive marker for DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs).
