Iniparib (INN, previously known as BSI 201) was a drug candidate for cancer treatment. It was originally believed to act as an irreversible inhibitor of PARP1 (hence, a PARP inhibitor) and possibly other enzymes through covalent modification, but its effects against PARP were later disproven. It underwent clinical trials for treatment of some types of breast cancer, but was discontinued after disappointing phase III clinical trials.

Iniparib (INN, previously known as BSI 201) was a drug candidate for cancer treatment. It was originally believed to act as an irreversible inhibitor of PARP1 (hence, a PARP inhibitor) and possibly other enzymes through covalent modification, but its effects against PARP were later disproven. It underwent clinical trials for treatment of some types of breast cancer, but was discontinued after disappointing phase III clinical trials.

==History== Iniparib was the first putative PARP inhibitor to commence phase III clinical trials. The first was for breast cancer, another was for squamous-cell lung cancer. Preliminary results in June 2009 on triple-negative breast cancer were promising. Later results showed increased median survival of triple-negative breast cancer patients from 7.7 to 12.2 months.
