Abstract 2850: Talazoparib (BMN-673) possesses greater PARP1 trapping activity than structurally distinct PARP inhibitors with identical PARP1 binding properties
2015
PARP1plays a central role in the repair of DNA damage. As such,
PARP inhibitorsare currently undergoing clinical development as anti-cancer agents with a focus on tumors with impaired homologous recombination and on combination regimens containing DNA damaging chemotherapies or radiation. Pre-clinical data indicate that
PARP inhibitorspotentiate the cytotoxicity of DNA alkylating agents in vitro and in vivo. Recent genetic and biochemical evidence indicates that one mechanism underlying this activity is the trapping of
PARP1onto damaged chromatin. Strikingly,
PARP inhibitorsthat differ by 10-fold in catalytic inhibition potency display up to a 10,000-fold difference in
PARP1trapping activity in cells. This observation led to the proposal of an allosteric trapping mechanism; however, substantial biochemical and cellular data indicate that trapping is not allosteric in nature and is instead mediated by inhibition of automodification. Thus, it remains unclear why certain
PARP inhibitorspossess such remarkable trapping activity in cells. The most potent trapping agent described to date is
talazoparib. This compound is also among the most potent inhibitors of PARP catalytic activity and possesses a slow off-rate. In order to test the hypothesis that the potency and slow off-rate of
talazoparibunderlie its potent trapping activity we sought to compare it to other compounds with similar biophysical properties. We have discovered a novel
PARP inhibitor, A-934935, that binds to
PARP1with affinity and kinetics nearly identical to
talazoparib. Our data also reveal that
rucaparibpossesses similar properties. Consistent with these similarities, all three agents inhibit
PARP1with equal potency in enzyme activity assays and in cells. In addition, these compounds display identical trapping activity in a purified biochemical system. In contrast,
talazoparibis a far more effective trapping agent than A-934935 or
rucaparibin cells treated with MMS. High content imaging of gamma-H2Ax levels reveals that
talazoparibpotentiates MMS-induced DNA damage more potently than
rucaparibor A-934935. While this correlates with trapping activity, it remains unclear whether this relationship is causal. Investigation of this phenomenon is ongoing. These studies reveal that
talazoparibpossesses trapping activity distinct from two other
PARP inhibitorsof unrelated structure with identical
PARP1binding properties. Disclosures: All authors are employees of AbbVie. The design, study conduct, and financial support for this research were provided by AbbVie.
