Iniparib is a medication that was once thought to work by interfering with the ability of cancer cells to repair their damaged DNA. Imagine your body's cells as houses, and each house has its own set of blueprints called DNA. Sometimes, mistakes happen and DNA gets damaged, just like houses might get damaged in a storm.

When cancer cells have damaged DNA, they try to fix it to keep growing and spreading. Iniparib was believed to block a protein called PARP, which cancer cells use to repair their damaged DNA.

Think of Iniparib as a wrench that jams the gears of a machine. By blocking PARP, Iniparib was thought to prevent cancer cells from fixing their damaged DNA, causing them to break down and die.

However, further research has since questioned the effectiveness of Iniparib in treating cancer, and it is not currently used as a cancer treatment.

However, further research has cast doubt on its effectiveness, and it is not currently used as a cancer treatment.
