Veliparib

Veliparib is an oral poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor that shows anticancer chemotherapeutic and anti-inflammatory activities. Veliparib crosses the blood-brain barrier with a 3:1 plasma:brain drug ratio. Inhibition of PARP by veliparib prevents excessive inflammation in animal models of cystic fibrosis and inhibits repair of DNA damage caused by chemotherapy or radiation in a variety of cancer models.
