Pre-clinical studies on PARP1 and DNA-PK inhibitors against hematologic malignancies

Target Inhibitors Type of malignancy Highlights Ref
PARP1 Olaparib (AZD2281, MK-7339) MCL and MLL-AF9 rearranged Leukemia cells Higher sensitivity of double-deficient ATM/p53 MCL cells, compared to mono-deficient MCL cells in ATM [106]
AG14361 MCL cells Enhanced topotecan-induced apoptosis independent of TP53 status [151]
PJ-34 Patient-derived ATLL cells p53-mediated caspase 3-dependent apoptosis [155]
HL60, MOLT4, and K562 human leukemia cell lines Synergistic effect in combination with histone deacetylase inhibitor, vorinostat [156]
BMN-673 (talazoparib) Patient-derived CLL samples Inhibited the proliferation of CLL cells independently of p53/ATM function [158]
Primary AML samples AML mouse models Enhanced apoptosis in combination with decitabine [166]
Veliparib (ABT-888) Patients with relapsed/refractory lymphoma and MM Enhances the cytotoxicity of bendamustine and rituximab [161]

MM cells

MM xenografts in SCID mice

Combined treatment with CDK inhibitor dinaciclib resulted in synthetic lethality of MM cells [162]
Acute leukemia, high-risk MPNs Promising results in Combined treatment with topotecan and carboplatin in phase I study [164]
P10 Human leukemic cell line Nalm6 Induction of G2/M arrest and accumulation of DNA damage [168]
DNA-PK Wortmannin Human leukemia cells

Sonolisib (PX-866) is Irreversible wortmannin analogue

PWT-458 is PEGylated derivative of wortmannin

[193, 194]
NU7026 Primary CLL cells Synergistic effects with chlorambucil [195]
CC-115 CLL, NHL, and MM

Phase I clinical trial

A dual inhibitor of DNA-PK and mTOR

[177, 196]
IC86621 NHL and HL Synergistic effects with bleomycin and etoposide [183]
CC-122 (Avadomide) NHL and MM Phase I clinical trial [178, 197]
NU7441 Pre-B ALL cells Increase of chemosensitivity to doxorubicin [198]
OK-1035 L5178Y cells (lymphoma cell line) Preclinical testing [199]
Dbait (AsiDNA or DT01) Lymphoma and leukemia cells

32 bp double-stranded DNA fragment that mimics DNA lesion and traps DNA repair enzymes

A dual inhibitor of DNA-PK and PARP1

[191]
GRN163L (Imetelstat) CLL

Imetelstat sensitizes primary CLL lymphocytes to fludarabine

A dual inhibitor of DNA-PK and telomerase

[192]
