Rucaparib (acetate)

Rucaparib (AG014699) acetate is an orally active, potent inhibitor of PARP proteins (PARP-1, PARP-2 and PARP-3) with a Ki of 1.4 nM for PARP1. Rucaparib acetate is a modest hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (H6PD) inhibitor. Rucaparib acetate has the potential for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) research[1][2][3][4].
