DNA repair inhibitors are one of the latest additions to cancer chemotherapy. In general, chemotherapy produces DNA damage but tumoral cells may become resistant if enzymes involved in DNA repair are overexpressed and are able to reverse DNA damage. One of the most successful drugs based on modulating DNA repair are the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) inhibitors. Several PARP1 inhibitors have been recently developed and approved for clinical treatments. We envisaged that PARP inhibition could be potentiated by simultaneously modulating the expression of PARP 1 and the enzyme activity, by a two-pronged strategy. A noncanonical G-quadruplex-forming sequence within the PARP1 promoter has been recently identified. In this study, we explored the potential binding of clinically approved PARP1 inhibitors to the G-quadruplex structure found at the gene promoter region. The results obtained by NMR, CD, and fluorescence titration confirmed by molecular modeling demonstrated that two out the four PARP1 inhibitors studied are capable of forming defined complexes with the PARP1 G-quadruplex. These results open the possibility of exploring the development of better G-quadruplex binders that, in turn, may also inhibit the enzyme.
