NCIt definition : A isoindolinone derivative and potent inhibitor of the nuclear enzyme poly (ADP-ribose)
polymerase (PARP) with chemosensitization and radiosensitization properties. INO-1001
inhibits PARP, which may result in inhibition of tumor cell DNA repair mechanisms
and, so, tumor cell resistance to chemotherapy and radiation therapy. PARP enzymes
are activated by DNA breaks and have been implicated in the repair of DNA single-strand
breaks (SSB).;
