Benzoxazole carboxamides are disclosed which can act as potent inhibitors of the DNA repair enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase or PARP enzyme (EC 2.4.2.30), and which thereby can provide useful therapeutic compounds for use in conjunction with DNA-damaging cytotoxic drugs or radiotherapy to potentiate the effects of the latter. Representative of the compounds are 2-methyl, 2-t-butyl, 2-phenyl or 2-(4-methoxyphenyl) benzoxazole-4-carboxamide.
本文披露了苯并
噁唑羧酰胺,可作为DNA修复酶聚(
ADP核糖)聚合酶或PARP酶(
EC 2.4.2.30)的有效
抑制剂,从而可提供有用的治疗化合物,用于与破坏DNA的细胞毒性药物或放疗结合使用,以增强后者的效果。该化合物的代表是2-甲基、2-t-丁基、2-苯基或2-(4-
甲氧基苯基)苯并
噁唑-4-羧酰胺。
