A range of quinazolinone compounds 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. The compounds disclosed comprise certain quinazolinone compounds having the general structural formula II
or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof,
characterised in that
X' represents hydroxyl, alkyl, alkoxy or an optionally substituted aryl (e.g. phenyl) or aralkyl (e.g. benzyl) group,
and
Y' represents hydrogen, alkyl or an optionally substituted aryl (e.g. phenyl) or aralkyl (e.g. benzyl) group.
本发明公开了一系列
喹唑啉酮化合物,它们可以作为 DNA 修复酶聚(
ADP-
核糖)聚合酶或 PARP 酶(
EC 2.4.2.30)的强效
抑制剂,从而可以提供有用的治疗化合物,与破坏 DNA 的细胞毒性药物或放射治疗一起使用,以增强后者的效果。所公开的化合物包括某些具有通式 II 结构的
喹唑啉酮化合物
或其药学上可接受的盐、
其特征在于
X'代表羟基、烷基、烷氧基或任选取代的芳基(如苯基)或芳烷基(如苄基)、
和
Y' 代表氢、烷基或任选取代的芳基(如苯基)或芳烷基(如苄基)。
