Mechanistically, 38a arrested cell cycle progression, induced apoptosis, inhibited colony formation and migration, and suppressed DNA damage repair pathways, outperforming combined Niraparib and AZD6738. These findings underscore the therapeutic potential of PARP1/ATR dual inhibitors for breast cancer and support further investigation.

BRCA1 (Breast cancer 1, early onset) • BRCA2 (Breast cancer 2, early onset)
Ceralasertib monotherapy demonstrated promising anti-tumor activity in ARID1A-deficient gynecologic malignancies. Tumor molecular and immune correlates may inform the further development of ATR inhibitors in this patient population.
CD8+ T cell depletion completely abrogates the anti-tumor effects, suggesting their essential role in mediating therapeutic responses. These findings establish Gal-9 upregulation as a critical adaptive immune resistance mechanism constraining ATRi efficacy, providing a compelling rationale for clinical translation of ceralasertib/Gal-9 blockade combinations.

We provide a detailed analysis of the structure-activity relationships (SAR) of leading clinical candidates, including berzosertib, ceralasertib, and elimusertib, focusing on strategic chemical modifications such as scaffold hopping and sulfoximine substitution to optimize selectivity and druggability. Critical challenges, specifically dose-limiting hematological toxicities and acquired resistance, are analyzed alongside the search for robust predictive biomarkers. By synthesizing current pharmacological and clinical data, this work outlines the trajectory for next-generation ATR-targeted precision medicine.

ATR (Ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related protein)
We exploited this vulnerability by inhibiting the ATR-mediated DNA damage response pathway with the selective ATR inhibitor ceralasertib (AZD6738)...Given the frequent inactivation of p53 in lung cancer, our study offers a rationale for clinical exploration of ATR inhibitors, in combination with standard chemotherapy, in the context of reduced BOK function. Future investigations into the broader role of BOK in genomic stability and nucleotide metabolism may uncover additional therapeutic strategies for cancers with repressed BOK.
