Our laboratory, in collaboration with Oxigene Inc, has been involved in identifying commercially feasible clinical applications of measurement or modulation of ADP-ribosylation as a core technology. For this purpose a pivotal regulatory role for ADP-ribosylation in the repair of DNA lesions leading to cytotoxic as well as mutagenic events has been hypothesized. A new class of DNA repair inhibitors, the N-substituted benzamides, has been identified which can react with radiation to produce reactive intermediates that oxidize thiol amino acids. Their proposed mechanisms of action are two-fold: ie they can interact with radiation: i) to directly enhance DNA damage; and ii) to react with thiols in the zinc finger DNA binding domain of poly ADP-ribosyl transferase to inhibit DNA repair and thereby increase DNA damage. Sensamide, a clinically relevant formulation of metoclopramide which is an N-substituted benzamide, has indicated enhancement of tumor response and survival in patients with inoperable squamous cell carcinoma of the lung when it was administered as a radiosensitizer in a phase I/II trial and compared to historical controls. A mechanism of endogenous regulation of human mononuclear leucocyte ADP-ribosylation has been identified to be HOCl/N-chloramine production via the oxidative burst of phagocytes. HOCl/N-chloramines are potent oxidants of thiol-containing proteins. Quantitative estimation of N-chloramine sensitive plasma thiols has been identified as an effective surrogate measure of leucocyte poly ADPRT.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
