Talazoparib (BMN 673) CAS NO.1207456-01-6

BMN-673 selectively binds to PARP and prevents PARP-mediated DNA repair of single strand DNA breaks via the base-excision repair pathway. This enhances the accumulation of DNA strand breaks, promotes genomic instability and eventually leads to apoptosis. BMN 673 selectively kills cancer cells with BRCA-1 or BRCA-2 mutations. BMN 673 demonstrates single-agent cytotoxicityin BRCA-1 mutant (MX-1, IC50 = 0.3 nM) and BRCA-2 mutant cells (Capan-1, IC50 = 5 nM). In contrast, in MRC-5 normal human fibroblastand other tumor cell lines with wild-type BRCA-1 and BRCA-2 genes, IC50 of BMN 673 ranges between 90 nM and 1.9 μM. [1] In cultured human cancer cells, BMN 673 also significantly enhances the cytotoxic efficacy of both Temozolomide and SN-38. Off-target molecular screening did not identify significant non-specific activity for this class of PARP inhibitors. [2]
