HIGH THROUGHPUT SCREENING ASSAY FOR IDENTIFYING INHIBITORS OF RAD52 AND USES OF THE IDENTIFIED INHIBITORS FOR TREATMENT AND/OR PREVENTION OF MALIGNACIES

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.
