Abstract

Inhibitors of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibit repair of damaged DNA and thus potentiate radiotherapy and chemotherapy of cancer. Treatment of 3-cyanothiophene with potassium nitrate and concentrated sulphuric acid gave 5-nitrothiophene-3-carboxamide. 4- Nitrothiophene-2-carboxamide and 5-nitrothiophene-2-carboxamide were formed similarly from 2-cyanothiophene. Reduction with tin (II) chloride gave the corresponding ...
