Pharmacology
Olaparib is an inhibitor of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes (PARP1, PARP2, PARP3) involved in DNA transcription and repair; cytotoxicity occurs through inhibition of PARP enzymatic activity and increased formation of PARP-DNA complexes, with enhanced activity in tumor cells harboring deficiencies in BRCA1/2, ATM, or other homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes.
Abemaciclib is an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6); in ER-positive breast cancer cells, it blocks Rb phosphorylation and cell cycle progression from G1 into S phase, resulting in senescence and apoptosis.
