Synthesis and calcium mobilization activity of cADPR analogues which integrate nucleobase, northern and southern ribose modifications [PDF]
Novel cADPR mimics, which integrate nucleobase, northern and southern ribose modifications were synthesized. The key steps of the synthesis were a Cu(I)-catalyzed Hüisgen [3+2] cycloaddition and a microwave-assisted intramolecular pyrophosphorylation ...

Prostate cancer and PARP inhibitors: progress and challenges
Despite survival improvements achieved over the last two decades, prostate cancer remains lethal at the metastatic castration-resistant stage (mCRPC) and new therapeutic approaches are needed.

Human autoantibodies to poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase. [PDF]
The chromatin-bound enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (ADPRP) is strongly stimulated by DNA with single- or double-stranded breaks, and transfers the ADP-ribose moiety of NAD to nuclear proteins. The activation of ADPRP is important for DNA repair and replication, and also has been postulated to play a role in the pathogenesis of lymphocyte ...

Identification of a dihydropyridine scaffold that blocks ryanodine receptors
Summary: Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are large, intracellular ion channels that control Ca2+ release from the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum. Dysregulation of RyRs in skeletal muscle, heart, and brain has been implicated in various muscle pathologies ...

Natural occurence of a biopolymer, poly (adenosine diphosphate ribose)
Evidence for the natural occurrence of poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose) in vivo was obtained using a sensitive radioimmunoassay and poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose) glycohydrolase, which specifically hydrolyzes poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose).

Demonstration of high molecular weight poly (adenosine diphosphate ribose)
An electrophoretic system was established that resolves poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose), enzymatically synthesized polymer from NAD+, by size difference of one residue on polyacrylamide gel. The existence of a polymer of at least 65 residues was demonstrated by band counting in this system. The polymer showed a heterogeneous size distribution on the

Salvage enzymes in nucleotide biosynthesis [PDF]
Balanced pools of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs), the building blocks of DNA, and ribonucleoside triphosphates (NTPs), the precursors of RNA, are crucial for a controlled cell proliferation.

DNA repair and synthetic lethality [PDF]
Tumors often have DNA repair defects, suggesting additional inhibition of other DNA repair pathways in tumors may lead to synthetic lethality. Accumulating data demonstrate that DNA repair-defective tumors, in particular homologous recombination (HR ...

Controversies and clinical unknowns in the use of PARP inhibitors in ovarian cancer
Poly (adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) have significantly improved the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer, however, there are still many aspects of their use that require further understanding.
