A Theoretical Study of the Interaction of PARP-1 with Natural and Synthetic Inhibitors: Advances in the Therapy of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.

In the current study, we have investigated the secondary metabolites present in ethnomedical plants used for medicinal purposes-Astilbe chinensis (EK1), Scutellaria barbata D. Don (EK2), Uncaria rhynchophylla (EK3), Fallugia paradoxa (EK4), and Curcuma zedoaria (Christm.) Thread (EK5)-and we have compared them with five compounds of synthetic origin for the inhibition of PARP-1, which is linked to abnormal DNA replication, generating carcinogenic cells.
