Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17473206 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26251615

Veliparib (ABT-888) is a potent inhibitor of PARP, has good oral bioavailability, can cross the blood-brain barrier, and potentiates temozolomide, platinums, cyclophosphamide, and radiation in syngeneic and xenograft tumor models. AbbVie is developing veliparib for the treatment of cancers. Clinical trials are underway worldwide, investigating veliparib primarily as part of a combination therapy in oncology indications such as brain, colorectal, melanoma, ovarian, prostate and pancreatic cancers.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Veliparib is brain penetrant in rodents. No human data available but the drug is studying for treatment of brain tumors https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24908656 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25682091

recommended Phase II dose of single-agent veliparib as 400 mg bid.
Route of Administration: Oral
Using colon cancer cell lines significant synergy was observed between Veliparib (ABT-888) and irinotecan at concentrations of ABT-888 as low as 0.125 μM. The level of synergy observed correlated with the degree of PARP1 inhibition as measured biochemically in cell lysates. ABT-888 at concentrations of 0.5-4 μM resulted in synergy with oxaliplatin.
