Abstract
This patent describes a novel therapeutic strategy involving conjugate compounds that integrate a poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor moiety with a disease-targeting ligand, offering a dual-function approach for the treatment of cancer. These conjugates are designed to enhance the efficacy of targeted radionuclide therapies by selectively delivering PARP inhibition to tumor cells, thereby disrupting DNA repair mechanisms and increasing cancer cell susceptibility to DNA damage-induced cytotoxicity.
