HTS Assay for Identifying Small Molecule Inhibitors of RAD52 and Uses of Identified Small Molecule Inhibitors for Treatment and Prevention of BRCA-Deficient Malignancies

摘要

Disclosed are methods, compositions, kits, and systems for identifying small-molecule drugs for treating cancer in a subject. The disclosed methods, compositions, kits, and systems may be utilized to identify small-molecule inhibitors of radiation sensitive protein 52 (RAD52) in order to treat cancer in a subject, such as breast cancer in a subject having a BRCA1-deficient, BRCA2-deficient, and/or PALB2-deficient phenotype by administering the identified small-molecule inhibitors to the subject.
