Abstract
Background: PARP inhibitors appear to offer a promising role in the accompaniment of many of the cytotoxic agents used in the present day to combat cancer proliferation in BRCA ½ deficient tumors. Current species of PARP inhibitors have yet to demonstrate a superior effect to that of existing therapies when administered as a single agent; however, they have appeared to amplify the effect of these existing chemotherapies when utilized together. This suggests that PARP inhibitors could play an effective maintenance role in current cancer-combating strategies. In the immediate future, PARP inhibitors may only be applicable to a select group of cancers (i.e., those caused by defective HR pathways), though research is emerging that could indicate an extension of applicability to HR proficient cancer types as well. For the time being, however, the current literature suggests that a viable PARP inhibitorchemotherapy hybrid targeting HR deficient cancers could be well on its way very soon.
Objective: In this manuscript we explores the ongoing and the completed clinical trials for different PARP inhibitors.
Conclusion: Since the approval of Olaparib by both FDA and EMA, further clinical trials continue to investigate the use of Olaparib and other PARP inhibitors. The anticipating outcome of these trials may clarify the benefit of PARP inhibitors in management of various BRCA mutated solid tumors.
Keywords: Breast cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, cancer of pancreas, PARP inhibitor, Olaparib.

New drug therapy for eye diseases
Eyesight is one of the most critical senses, accounting for over 80% of our perceptions. Our quality of life might be significantly affected by eye disease, including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, dry eye, etc. Although the development of microinvasive ocular surgery reduces surgical complications and improves overall outcomes, medication therapy is ...read more
Therapeutic Chemical and RNA Design with Artificial Intelligence
Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD) has emerged as a fundamental component of modern drug discovery. Molecular docking facilitates virtual screening on a large scale through structural simulations. However, traditional CADD approaches face significant limitations, as they can only screen known compounds from existing libraries. PubChem, as the most widely used chemical ...read more
