The zinc finger domains of PARP-1 are selectively and potently inhibited by the Au(I)-based drugs sodium aurothiomalate and aurothioglucose. [PDF]
PARP‐1 is a key enzyme in the DNA damage response, and its inhibition induces cancer cell death via synthetic lethality. Au(I)‐based drugs, such as aurothioglucose and sodium aurothiomalate, block PARP‐1's DNA‐dependent activity by targeting its zinc finger domains.

Auranofin‐Loaded PLGA Nanoparticles for Neuroprotection Against Aluminium‐Induced Alzheimer [PDF]
Abstract Background Currently, the treatment options for various CNS disorders, particularly neurodegenerative disorders, are greatly constrained. A significant obstacle in this pursuit is the blood‐brain barrier (BBB), a protective structure that hinders the route of numerous biochemical treatments into the brain.
