JPI-547, a dual inhibitor of PARP/Tankyrase, shows promising antitumor activity against pancreatic cancers with homologous recombination repair deficiency or Wnt-addiction (AACR 2023)
JPI-547 is a novel PARP inhibitor, simultaneously targeting tankyrase1/2, other members of the PARP family, that are involved in the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Antiproliferative effect of JPI-547 and a variety of PARP inhibitors (olaparib, veliparib, talazoparib, niraparib, and rucaparib) were determined by MTT assay or clonogenic assay in 9 human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cell lines (Capan-1, HPAF-II, Capan-2, AsPC-1, SNU-410, SNU-213, SNU-324, MIA-PaCa2, and PANC-1). JPI-547 shows promising, preclinical antitumor effects against PDAC cells with HRD or Wnt-addiction, providing a rationale for further biomarker-driven clinical development of JPI-547 for the treatment of patients with PDAC.
