What it is Filled

Niraparib is a small-molecule inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase enzymes PARP1 and PARP2 used as an oral anticancer drug, particularly in maintenance treatment of selected ovarian, fallopian-tube and primary peritoneal cancers.

In scope

  • Molecular identity, stereochemistry, and identifiers for niraparib
  • Explicit relationships between the parent substance, salts, hydrates, and physical forms
  • Sample composition, purity, analytical identity, and stability
  • Evidence describing PARP inhibition and its experimental conditions
  • Substance handling constraints and links to product-specific regulatory evidence

Out of scope

  • Finished medicine formulations, packaging, and commercial inventory
  • Patient-specific prescribing, dosing, and treatment monitoring
  • Cancer classification and individual tumour biomarker interpretation
  • Manufacturing process design and synthesis execution
  • Independent models of other PARP inhibitors or combination-product ingredients

Why it exists Filled

Enable an agent to identify niraparib, assess the identity and fitness of a material containing it, and determine which handling or use decisions require additional evidence.

Distinguishing features Filled

  • Match molecular connectivity and the S-configured stereocentre, rather than accepting any PARP inhibitor or a matching molecular formula as niraparib. [PubChem](https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Niraparib)
  • For the neutral parent, check C19H20N4O, CAS 1038915-60-4, and PubChem CID 24958200 against structural evidence. [PubChem](https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Niraparib)
  • Distinguish the parent substance from niraparib tosylate monohydrate, which has its own composition and PubChem CID 74763937. [PubChem salt record](https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Niraparib-tosylate-monohydrate)
  • Distinguish a niraparib substance sample from a ZEJULA tablet: a product name does not establish the purity or composition of isolated active material. [FDA label](https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2025/214876s003s004lbl.pdf)

What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
