Targeting the homologous recombination pathway by small molecule modulators.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: During the last decade, the use of small molecule (MW <500 Da) compounds that modulate (inhibit or activate) important proteins of different biological pathways became widespread. Recently, the homologous recombination (HR) pathway emerged as a target for such modulators. Development of small molecule modulators pursues two distinct but not mutually exclusive purposes: to create a research tool to study the activities or functions of proteins of interest and to produce drugs targeting specific pathologies. Here, we review the progress of small molecule development in the area of HR.
