(what is this?)
Iniparib (previously BSI 201) (4-iodo-3-nitrobenzamide) is a drug that acts as an irreversible inhibitor of PARP1 (hence, it is a PARP inhibitor) and possibly other enzymes through covalent modification.[1][2] It is undergoing clinical trials for treatment of some types of breast cancer.[3][4]
It is the first PARP inhibitor to commence phase III clinical trials.[5] The first was for breast cancer,[6] another has started for squamous cell lung cancer.[7]
Preliminary results in June 2009 on triple-negative breast cancer were promising.[8] Later results showed increased median survival of triple negative breast cancer patients from 7.7 to 12.2 months.[9][10][11] However, Phase III results disclosed in January 2011 were disappointing.
Since December 2009, the FDA have been fast-tracking the New Drug Application of iniparib for triple-negative breast cancer.
