GtoPdb Ligand ID: 7736

Synonyms: AG-014699 | AG014699 | AG14447 | PF-01367338 | Rubraca®
Approved drug PDB Ligand
rucaparib is an approved drug (FDA (2016), EMA (2018))
Compound class: Synthetic organic
Comment: Rucaparib is an orally active poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP) inhibitor with anti-cancer activity [7]. It was developed by Clovis Oncology.
PARP inhibitors are known to enhance efficacy of anti-cancer therapies such as DNA alkylating agents, topoisomerase I poisons, and ionizing radiation.
Note that in the Thomas et al. paper [7], AG014699 refers to the phosphate salt and AG14447 to the parent molecule.
Rucaparib was accepted for FDA priority review for the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer harbouring mutant BRCA (August 2016).
Note: olaparib was the first PARP inhibitor to be approved for clinical use.

Ligand Activity Visualisation Charts

These are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts.

2D Structure

An image of the ligand's 2D structure. For small molecules with SMILES these are drawn using the NCI/CADD Chemical Identifier Resolver. Click on the image to access the chemical structure search tool with the ligand pre-loaded in the structure editor. For other types of ligands, e.g. longer nucleotides and peptides, a manually drawn representation of the molecule may be provided.

Physico-chemical Properties

Calculated molecular properties are available for small molecules and natural products (not peptides). Properties were generated using the Chemistry Development Kit (CDK) (Willighagen EL et al. Journal of Cheminformatics vol. 9:33. 2017, doi:10.1186/s13321-017-0220-4; https://cdk.github.io/). All properties were selected to enable the prediction of the Lipinski Rule-of-Five profile or ‘druglikeness’ for each ligand. For more info on each category see the help pages.

SMILES / InChI / InChIKey

SMILES (Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry Specification) A specification for unambiguously describing the structure of chemical molecules using short ASCII strings. Canonical SMILES specify a unique representation of the 2D structure without chiral or isotopic specifications. Isomeric SMILES include chiral specification and isotopes.

Standard InChI (IUPAC International Chemical Identifier) and InChIKey InChI is a non-proprietary, standard, textual identifier for chemical substances designed to facilitate linking of information and database searching. An InChIKey is a simplified version of a full InChI, designed for easier web searching.

Bioactivity Comments
Note that some bioactivity data may be associated with the phosphate salt, PubChem CID 9931953.
Rucaparib sensitises cells to chemotherapy drugs and radiotherapy, when given alongside these anti-cancer therapies. As a single agent it shows no toxicity [7].
