DETAILED DESCRIPTION [0008] The following terms are used throughout as defined below. [0009] As used herein and in the appended claims, singular articles such as “a” and “an” and “the” and similar referents in the context of describing the elements (especially in the context of the following claims) are to be construed to cover both the singular and the plural, unless otherwise indicated herein or clearly contradicted by context. Recitation of ranges of values herein are merely intended to serve as a shorthand method of referring individually to each separate value falling within the range, unless otherwise indicated herein, and each separate value is incorporated into the specification as if it were individually recited herein. All methods described herein can be performed in any suitable order unless otherwise indicated herein or otherwise clearly contradicted by context. The use of any and all examples, or exemplary language (e.g., “such as”) provided herein, is intended merely to better illuminate the embodiments and does not pose a limitation on the scope of the claims unless otherwise stated. No language in the specification should be construed as indicating any non-claimed element as essential. [0010] As used herein, “about” will be understood by persons of ordinary skill in the art and will vary to some extent depending upon the context in which it is used. If there are uses of the term which are not clear to persons of ordinary skill in the art, given the context in which it is used, “about” will mean up to plus or minus 10% of the particular term – for example, “about 10 wt.%” would be understood to mean “9 wt.% to 11 wt.%.” It is to be understood that when “about” precedes a term, the term is to be construed as disclosing “about” the term as well as the term without modification by “about” – for example, “about 10 wt.%” discloses “9 wt.% to 11 wt.%” as well as disclosing “10 wt.%.” [0011] The phrase “and/or” as used in the present disclosure will be understood to mean any one of the recited members individually or a combination of any two or more thereof – for example, “A, B, and/or C” would mean “A, B, C, A and B, A and C, B and C, or the combination of A, B, and C.” [0012] Generally, reference to a certain element such as hydrogen or H is meant to include all isotopes of that element. For example, if an R group is defined to include hydrogen or H, it also includes deuterium and tritium. Compounds comprising radioisotopes such as tritium, C14, P32 and S35 are thus within the scope of the present technology. Procedures for inserting such labels into the compounds of the present technology will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art based on the disclosure herein. [0013] In general, “substituted” refers to an organic group as defined below (e.g., an alkyl group) in which one or more bonds to a hydrogen atom contained therein are replaced by a bond to non-hydrogen or non-carbon atoms. Substituted groups also include groups in which one or more bonds to a carbon(s) or hydrogen(s) atom are replaced by one or more bonds, including double or triple bonds, to a heteroatom. Thus, a substituted group is substituted with one or more substituents, unless otherwise specified. In some embodiments, a substituted group is substituted with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 substituents.

Finally, as will be understood by one skilled in the art, a range includes each individual member. Thus, for example, a group having 1-3 atoms refers to groups having 1, 2, or 3 atoms. Similarly, a group having 1-5 atoms refers to groups having 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 atoms, and so forth. [0057] As understood by one of ordinary skill in the art, “molecular weight” (also known as “relative molar mass”) is a dimensionless quantity but is converted to molar mass by multiplying by 1 gram/mole or by multiplying by 1 Da – for example, a compound with a weight-average molecular weight of 5,000 has a weight-average molar mass of 5,000 g/mol and a weight-average molar mass of 5,000 Da. [0058] Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of compounds described herein are within the scope of the present technology and include acid or base addition salts which retain the desired pharmacological activity and is not biologically undesirable (e.g., the salt is not unduly toxic, allergenic, or irritating, and is bioavailable). When the compound of the present technology has a basic group, such as, for example, an amino group, pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be formed with inorganic acids (such as hydrochloric acid, hydroboric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and phosphoric acid), organic acids (e.g., alginate, formic acid, acetic acid, benzoic acid, gluconic acid, fumaric acid, oxalic acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, maleic acid, citric acid, succinic acid, malic acid, methanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, naphthalene sulfonic acid, and p-toluenesulfonic acid) or acidic amino acids (such as aspartic acid and glutamic acid). When the compound of the present technology has an acidic group, such as for example, a carboxylic acid group, it can form salts with metals, such as alkali and earth alkali metals (e.g., Na+, Li+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Zn2+), ammonia or organic amines (e.g., dicyclohexylamine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, pyridine, picoline, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine) or basic amino acids (e.g., arginine, lysine and ornithine). Such salts can be prepared in situ during isolation and purification of the compounds or by separately reacting the purified compound in its free base or free acid form with a suitable acid or base, respectively, and isolating the salt thus formed. [0059] Those of skill in the art will appreciate that compounds of the present technology may exhibit the phenomena of tautomerism, conformational isomerism, geometric isomerism, and/or stereoisomerism. As the formula drawings within the specification and claims can represent only one of the possible tautomeric, conformational isomeric, stereochemical or geometric isomeric forms, it should be understood that the present technology encompasses any tautomeric, conformational isomeric, stereochemical and/or geometric isomeric forms of the compounds having one or more of the utilities described herein, as well as mixtures of these various different forms. [0060] “Tautomers” refers to isomeric forms of a compound that are in equilibrium with each other. The presence and concentrations of the isomeric forms will depend on the environment the compound is found in and may be different depending upon, for example, whether the compound is a solid or is in an organic or aqueous solution. For example, in aqueous solution, quinazolinones may exhibit the following isomeric forms, which are referred to as tautomers of each other: As another example, guanidines may exhibit the following isomeric forms in protic organic solution, also referred to as tautomers of each other: Because of the limits of representing compounds by structural formulas, it is to be understood that all chemical formulas of the compounds described herein represent all tautomeric forms of compounds and are within the scope of the present technology. [0061] Stereoisomers of compounds (also known as optical isomers) include all chiral, diastereomeric, and racemic forms of a structure, unless the specific stereochemistry is expressly indicated. Thus, compounds used in the present technology include enriched or resolved optical isomers at any or all asymmetric atoms as are apparent from the depictions. Both racemic and diastereomeric mixtures, as well as the individual optical isomers can be isolated or synthesized so as to be substantially free of their enantiomeric or diastereomeric partners, and these stereoisomers are all within the scope of the present technology. [0062] The compounds of the present technology may exist as solvates, especially hydrates. Hydrates may form during manufacture of the compounds or compositions comprising the compounds, or hydrates may form over time due to the hygroscopic nature of the compounds. Compounds of the present technology may exist as organic solvates as well, including DMF, ether, and alcohol solvates among others. The identification and preparation of any particular solvate is within the skill of the ordinary artisan of synthetic organic or medicinal chemistry. [0063] Throughout this disclosure, various publications, patents and published patent specifications are referenced by an identifying citation. Also within this disclosure are Arabic numerals referring to referenced citations, the full bibliographic details of which are provided subsequent to the Examples section. The disclosures of these publications, patents and published patent specifications are hereby incorporated by reference into the present disclosure to more fully describe the present technology. [0064] The Present Technology [0065] Poly ADP ribose polymerase 1 (PARP1) is a member of a family of proteins involved in myriad cellular processes such as DNA repair, genomic stability, and programmed cell death. PARP1 is an ADP-ribosyltransferase that uses NAD+ as a substrate to modify proteins ^including itself ^by PARylation and detects single-strand DNA breaks, playing a significant role in homologous recombination and DNA repair by signaling the enzymatic processes involved in repairing single-strand DNA breaks. [0066] Several PARP1 inhibitors have been approved for the treatment of breast and ovarian cancers deficient in other mechanisms of DNA repair, and further PARP inhibitors are currently in clinical trials for the treatment of ovarian cancer, pancreatic and biliary tract malignancies, glioblastoma, lung cancers, and prostatic cancers. BRCA1/2-deficient cancers are exquisitely sensitive to PARP1 inhibition, where PARP inhibition is lethal in cells with loss-of- function mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2. Reduced homologous recombination (HR) capacity through other mechanisms also sensitizes cells to PARP inhibitors. Cells lacking defects in DNA repair are typically 1000-fold less susceptible to PARP inhibitors than those with such defects. PARP inhibitors reduce PARylation and trap PARP1 on DNA causing replication fork collapse and cell death. [0067] Yet current PARP1 inhibitors such as talazoparib, olaparib, rucaparib, and niraparib do not have good central nervous system (CNS) penetration, and veliparib is not efficacious in most tumors. See, e.g., Gupta, Shiv K., et al. "PARP inhibitors for sensitization of alkylation chemotherapy in glioblastoma: impact of blood-brain barrier and molecular heterogeneity" Frontiers in oncology 8 (2019): 670; Kizilbash, S.H. et al. “Restricted delivery of talazoparib across the blood-brain barrier limits the sensitizing effects of PARP inhibition on Temozolomide therapy in glioblastoma” Mol. Cancer Ther, 16 (2017): 2735-2746. Further, none of these are selective for PARP1 over PARP2. Selectivity for PARP1 over PARP2 is desirable because PARP1 (not PARP2) is primarily responsible for cytotoxicity in cancer cells, whereas PARP2 is essential in PARP1-/- mice and plays important roles in hematopoiesis. Notably, common side effects of current PARP1 inhibitors like talazoparib, olaparib, rucaparib, niraparib, and veliparib are neutropenia and anemia where such common side effects appear to stem from co-inhibition of PARP2. [0068] Accordingly, there is a need for PARP inhibitors with improved central nervous system penetration in order to treat brain cancers such as a glioblastoma, a neuroblastoma, and a medulloblastoma, as well as a need for PARP inhibitors that exhibit significant selectivity for PARP1 over PARP2. [0069] The present technology responds to these needs as well as provides additional advantages. According to internal proprietary predictive models, compounds of the present technology were predicted to exhibit desirable blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability. These proprietary predictive models have been verified by in vitro assays well-established to be predictive of BBB permeability in living subject and by in vivo experiments. Accordingly, the present technology provides compounds with advantageously improved central nervous system penetration, as well as compositions and methods especially suited to treatment of central nervous system cancers. [0070] Thus, in an aspect, the present technology provides a compound according to Formula I

[0075] In an aspect, a composition is provided that includes a compound of any embodiment disclosed herein, a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or one or more excipients, fillers or agents (collectively referred to hereafter as “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” unless otherwise indicated and/or specified). In a related aspect, a medicament for treating a cancer in a subject is provided that includes a compound of any embodiment disclosed herein and optionally a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The medicament of any embodiment herein may include an effective amount of the compound for treating the cancer when combined with a second cancer therapy, such as radiation therapy, a monoclonal antibody, and/or a chemotherapeutic. In any embodiment herein, the cancer may be a breast cancer, an ovarian cancer, a pancreatic cancer, a biliary tract cancer, a lung cancer, a prostatic cancer, and/or a CNS cancer (such as a brain cancer). The CNS cancer may be a glioblastoma, a neuroblastoma, and/or a medulloblastoma. In a related aspect, a pharmaceutical composition is provided that includes (i) an effective amount of a compound of any embodiment disclosed herein, wherein the effective amount of the compound is effective to treat a cancer; and (ii) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. In any embodiment herein, the cancer may be a breast cancer, an ovarian cancer, a pancreatic cancer, a biliary tract cancer, a lung cancer, a prostatic cancer, and/or a CNS cancer (such as a brain cancer). In any embodiment herein, the cancer may be a breast cancer, an ovarian cancer, a pancreatic cancer, a biliary tract cancer, a lung cancer, a prostatic cancer, and/or a CNS cancer (such as a brain cancer). In a related aspect, a pharmaceutical composition is provided that includes (i) an effective amount of a compound of any embodiment disclosed herein, where the compound is present in an amount effective to treat a cancer when combined with second cancer therapy (such as radiation therapy, a monoclonal antibody, and/or a chemotherapeutic); and (ii) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. In any embodiment herein, the cancer may be a breast cancer, an ovarian cancer, a pancreatic cancer, a biliary tract cancer, a lung cancer, a prostatic cancer, and/or a CNS cancer (such as a brain cancer). In further related aspects, the present technology provides methods including a compound of any aspect or embodiment disclosed herein and/or a composition of any embodiment disclosed herein and/or a medicament of any embodiment disclosed herein. [0076] “Effective amount” refers to the amount of a compound or composition required to produce a desired effect. One example of an effective amount includes amounts or dosages that yield acceptable toxicity and bioavailability levels for therapeutic (pharmaceutical) use including, but not limited to, reduction of a tumor mass. In any aspect or embodiment disclosed herein (collectively referred to herein as “any embodiment herein,” “any embodiment disclosed herein,” or the like) of the compositions, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods including compounds of the present technology, the effective amount may be an amount effective in treating a cancer (such as a breast cancer, an ovarian cancer, a pancreatic cancer, a biliary tract cancer, a lung cancer, a prostatic cancer, and/or a CNS cancer), treating a tumor, and/or shrinking a tumor. By way of example, the effective amount of any embodiment herein including a compound of the present technology may be from about 0.01 μg to about 200 mg of the compound (such as from about 0.1 μg to about 50 mg of the compound or about 10 μg to about 20 mg of the compound). The methods and uses according to the present technology may include an effective amount of a compound of any embodiment disclosed herein. In any aspect or embodiment disclosed herein, the effective amount may be determined in relation to a subject. As used herein, a “subject” or “patient” is a mammal, such as a cat, dog, rodent or primate. Typically the subject is a human, and, preferably, a human suffering from or suspected of suffering from pain. The term “subject” and “patient” can be used interchangeably. [0077] Thus, the instant present technology provides pharmaceutical compositions and medicaments including a compound of any embodiment disclosed herein (or a composition of any embodiment disclosed herein) and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The compositions may be used in the methods and treatments described herein. The pharmaceutical composition may be packaged in unit dosage form. The unit dosage form may be effective in treating a cancer (such as a breast cancer, an ovarian cancer, a pancreatic cancer, a biliary tract cancer, a lung cancer, a prostatic cancer, and/or a CNS cancer). The unit dosage form may be effective in treating a tumor by reducing a tumor volume when administered to a subject in need thereof. Generally, a unit dosage including a compound of the present technology will vary depending on patient considerations. Such considerations include, for example, age, protocol, condition, sex, extent of disease, contraindications, concomitant therapies and the like. An exemplary unit dosage based on these considerations may also be adjusted or modified by a physician skilled in the art. For example, a unit dosage for a patient comprising a compound of the present technology may vary from 1 × 10–4 g/kg to 1 g/kg, preferably, 1 × 10–3 g/kg to 1.0 g/kg. Dosage of a compound of the present technology may also vary from 0.01 mg/kg to 100 mg/kg or, preferably, from 0.1 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg. Suitable unit dosage forms, include, but are not limited to parenteral solutions, oral solutions, powders, tablets, pills, gelcaps, capsules, lozenges, suppositories, patches, nasal sprays, injectables, implantable sustained-release formulations, mucoadherent films, topical varnishes, lipid complexes, liquids, etc. [0078] The pharmaceutical compositions and medicaments may be prepared by mixing one or more compounds and/or compositions of the present technology with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients, binders, diluents or the like. Such compositions can be in the form of, for example, granules, powders, tablets, capsules, syrup, suppositories, injections, emulsions, elixirs, suspensions or solutions. The instant compositions can be formulated for various routes of administration, for example, by oral, parenteral, topical, rectal, nasal, vaginal administration, or via implanted reservoir. Parenteral or systemic administration includes, but is not limited to, subcutaneous, intravenous, intraperitoneal, and intramuscular, injections. The following dosage forms are given by way of example and should not be construed as limiting the instant present technology. [0079] For oral, buccal, and sublingual administration, powders, suspensions, granules, tablets, pills, capsules, gelcaps, and caplets are acceptable as solid dosage forms. These can be prepared, for example, by mixing one or more compounds of the instant present technology, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or tautomers thereof, with at least one additive such as a starch or other additive. Suitable additives are sucrose, lactose, cellulose sugar, mannitol, maltitol, dextran, starch, agar, alginates, chitins, chitosans, pectins, tragacanth gum, gum arabic, gelatins, collagens, casein, albumin, synthetic or semi-synthetic polymers or glycerides. Optionally, oral dosage forms can contain other ingredients to aid in administration, such as an inactive diluent, or lubricants such as magnesium stearate, or preservatives such as paraben or sorbic acid, or anti- oxidants such as ascorbic acid, tocopherol or cysteine, a disintegrating agent, binders, thickeners, buffers, sweeteners, flavoring agents or perfuming agents. Tablets and pills may be further treated with suitable coating materials known in the art. [0080] Liquid dosage forms for oral administration may be in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, syrups, elixirs, suspensions, and solutions, which may contain an inactive diluent, such as water. Pharmaceutical formulations and medicaments may be prepared as liquid suspensions or solutions using a sterile liquid, such as, but not limited to, an oil, water, an alcohol, and combinations of these. Pharmaceutically suitable surfactants, suspending agents, emulsifying agents, may be added for oral or parenteral administration. [0081] As noted above, suspensions may include oils. Such oils include, but are not limited to, peanut oil, sesame oil, cottonseed oil, corn oil and olive oil. Suspension preparation may also contain esters of fatty acids such as ethyl oleate, isopropyl myristate, fatty acid glycerides and acetylated fatty acid glycerides. Suspension formulations may include alcohols, such as, but not limited to, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, hexadecyl alcohol, glycerol and propylene glycol. Ethers, such as but not limited to, poly(ethyleneglycol), petroleum hydrocarbons such as mineral oil and petrolatum; and water may also be used in suspension formulations. [0082] Injectable dosage forms generally include aqueous suspensions or oil suspensions which may be prepared using a suitable dispersant or wetting agent and a suspending agent. Injectable forms may be in solution phase or in the form of a suspension, which is prepared with a solvent or diluent. Acceptable solvents or vehicles include sterilized water, Ringer's solution, or an isotonic aqueous saline solution. Alternatively, sterile oils may be employed as solvents or suspending agents. Typically, the oil or fatty acid is non-volatile, including natural or synthetic oils, fatty acids, mono-, di- or tri-glycerides. [0083] For injection, the pharmaceutical formulation and/or medicament may be a powder suitable for reconstitution with an appropriate solution as described above. Examples of these include, but are not limited to, freeze dried, rotary dried or spray dried powders, amorphous powders, granules, precipitates, or particulates. For injection, the formulations may optionally contain stabilizers, pH modifiers, surfactants, bioavailability modifiers and combinations of these. [0084] Compounds of the present technology may be administered to the lungs by inhalation through the nose or mouth. Suitable pharmaceutical formulations for inhalation include solutions, sprays, dry powders, or aerosols containing any appropriate solvents and optionally other compounds such as, but not limited to, stabilizers, antimicrobial agents, antioxidants, pH modifiers, surfactants, bioavailability modifiers and combinations of these. The carriers and stabilizers vary with the requirements of the particular compound, but typically include nonionic surfactants (Tweens, Pluronics, or polyethylene glycol), innocuous proteins like serum albumin, sorbitan esters, oleic acid, lecithin, amino acids such as glycine, buffers, salts, sugars and/or sugar alcohols. Aqueous and nonaqueous (e.g., in a fluorocarbon propellant) aerosols are typically used for delivery of compounds of the present technology by inhalation. [0085] Dosage forms for the topical (including buccal and sublingual) or transdermal administration of compounds of the present technology include powders, sprays, ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, solutions, and patches. The active component may be mixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier or excipient, and with any preservatives, or buffers, which may be required. Powders and sprays can be prepared, for example, with excipients such as lactose, talc, silicic acid, aluminum hydroxide, calcium silicates and polyamide powder, or mixtures of these substances. The ointments, pastes, creams and gels may also contain excipients such as animal and vegetable fats, oils, waxes, paraffins, starch, tragacanth, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene glycols, silicones, bentonites, silicic acid, talc and zinc oxide, or mixtures thereof. Absorption enhancers can also be used to increase the flux of the compounds of the present technology across the skin. The rate of such flux can be controlled by either providing a rate controlling membrane (e.g., as part of a transdermal patch) or dispersing the compound in a polymer matrix or gel. [0086] Besides those representative dosage forms described above, pharmaceutically acceptable excipients and carriers are generally known to those skilled in the art and are thus included in the instant present technology. Such excipients and carriers are described, for example, in “Remingtons Pharmaceutical Sciences” Mack Pub. Co., New Jersey (1991), which is incorporated herein by reference. [0087] The formulations of the present technology may be designed to be short-acting, fast-releasing, long-acting, and sustained-releasing as described below. Thus, the pharmaceutical formulations may also be formulated for controlled release or for slow release. [0088] The instant compositions may also comprise, for example, micelles or liposomes, or some other encapsulated form, or may be administered in an extended release form to provide a prolonged storage and/or delivery effect. Therefore, the pharmaceutical formulations and medicaments may be compressed into pellets or cylinders and implanted intramuscularly or subcutaneously as depot injections or as implants such as stents. Such implants may employ known inert materials such as silicones and biodegradable polymers. [0089] Specific dosages may be adjusted depending on conditions of disease, the age, body weight, general health conditions, sex, and diet of the subject, dose intervals, administration routes, excretion rate, and combinations of drugs. Any of the above dosage forms containing effective amounts are well within the bounds of routine experimentation and therefore, well within the scope of the instant present technology. [0090] Those skilled in the art are readily able to determine an effective amount by simply administering a compound of the present technology to a patient in increasing amounts until, for example, there is a reduction in the mass of a tumor in a subject. The compounds of the present technology can be administered to a patient at dosage levels in the range of about 0.1 to about 1,000 mg per day. For a normal human adult having a body weight of about 70 kg, a dosage in the range of about 0.01 to about 100 mg per kg of body weight per day is sufficient. The specific dosage used, however, can vary or may be adjusted as considered appropriate by those of ordinary skill in the art. For example, the dosage can depend on a number of factors including the requirements of the patient, the severity of the B-cell malignancy (e.g., non- Hodgkin lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia) associated with the tumor, and the pharmacological activity of the compound being used. The determination of optimum dosages for a particular patient is well known to those skilled in the art. [0091] Various assays and model systems can be readily employed to determine the therapeutic effectiveness of the treatment according to the present technology. Effectiveness of the compositions (as well as determination of effective amounts) and methods of the present technology may also be demonstrated by a decrease in the mass of a tumor and/or slowing the growth of a tumor and/or affecting an increase in the therapeutic responsiveness of a cancer to a second cancer therapy (such as a radiation therapy, a monoclonal antibody, and/or a chemotherapeutic). [0092] For each of the indicated conditions described herein, test subjects will exhibit a 10%, 20%, 30%, 50% or greater reduction, up to a 75–90%, or 95% or greater, reduction, in one or more symptom(s) caused by, or associated with, the disorder in the subject, compared to placebo–treated or other suitable control subjects. [0093] The compounds of the present technology can also be administered to a patient along with other conventional therapeutic agents that may be useful in the treatment of tumors or in vaccination. The administration may include oral administration, parenteral administration, or nasal administration. In any of these embodiments, the administration may include intratumoral injections, subcutaneous injections, intravenous injections, intraperitoneal injections, or intramuscular injections. In any of these embodiments, the administration may include oral administration. The methods of the present technology can also include administering, either sequentially or in combination with one or more compounds of the present technology, a conventional therapeutic agent in an amount that can potentially or synergistically be effective for the treatment a cancer (e.g., a breast cancer, an ovarian cancer, a pancreatic cancer, a biliary tract cancer, a lung cancer, a prostatic cancer, and/or a CNS cancer). [0094] In one aspect, a compound of the present technology is administered to a patient in an amount or dosage suitable for therapeutic use. Generally, a unit dosage comprising a compound of the present technology will vary depending on patient considerations. Such considerations include, for example, age, protocol, condition, sex, extent of disease, contraindications, concomitant therapies and the like. An exemplary unit dosage based on these considerations can also be adjusted or modified by a physician skilled in the art. For example, a unit dosage for a patient comprising a compound of the present technology can vary from 1 × 10 4 g/kg to 1 g/kg, preferably, 1 × 10–3 g/kg to 1.0 g/kg. Dosage of a compound of the present technology can also vary from 0.01 mg/kg to 100 mg/kg or, preferably, from 0.1 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg. [0095] A compound of the present technology can also be modified, for example, by the covalent attachment of an organic moiety or conjugate to improve pharmacokinetic properties, toxicity or bioavailability (e.g., increased in vivo half–life). The conjugate can be a linear or branched hydrophilic polymeric group, fatty acid group or fatty acid ester group. A polymeric group can comprise a molecular weight that can be adjusted by one of ordinary skill in the art to improve, for example, pharmacokinetic properties, toxicity or bioavailability. Exemplary conjugates can include a polyalkane glycol (e.g., polyethylene glycol (PEG), polypropylene glycol (PPG)), carbohydrate polymer, amino acid polymer or polyvinyl pyrrolidone and a fatty acid or fatty acid ester group, each of which can independently comprise from about eight to about seventy carbon atoms. Conjugates for use with a compound of the present technology can also serve as linkers to, for example, any suitable substituents or groups, radiolabels (marker or tags), halogens, proteins, enzymes, polypeptides, other therapeutic agents (for example, a pharmaceutical or drug), nucleosides, dyes, oligonucleotides, lipids, phospholipids and/or liposomes. In one aspect, conjugates can include polyethylene amine (PEI), polyglycine, hybrids of PEI and polyglycine, polyethylene glycol (PEG) or methoxypolyethylene glycol (mPEG). A conjugate can also link a compound of the present technology to, for example, a label (fluorescent or luminescent) or marker (radionuclide, radioisotope and/or isotope) to comprise a probe of the present technology. Conjugates for use with a compound of the present technology can, in one aspect, improve in vivo half–life. Other exemplary conjugates for use with a compound of the present technology as well as applications thereof and related techniques include those generally described by U.S. Patent No. 5,672,662, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein. [0096] In another aspect, the present technology provides methods of identifying a target of interest including contacting the target of interest with a detectable or imaging effective quantity of a labeled compound of the present technology. A detectable or imaging effective quantity is a quantity of a labeled compound of the present technology necessary to be detected by the detection method chosen. For example, a detectable quantity can be an administered amount sufficient to enable detection of binding of the labeled compound to a target of interest. Suitable labels are known by those skilled in the art and can include, for example, radioisotopes, radionuclides, isotopes, fluorescent groups, biotin (in conjunction with streptavidin complexation), and chemiluminescent groups. Upon binding of the labeled compound to the target of interest, the target may be isolated, purified and further characterized such as by determining the amino acid sequence. [0097] The terms “associated” and/or “binding” can mean a chemical or physical interaction, for example, between a compound of the present technology and a target of interest. Examples of associations or interactions include covalent bonds, ionic bonds, hydrophilic– hydrophilic interactions, hydrophobic–hydrophobic interactions and complexes. Associated can also refer generally to “binding” or “affinity” as each can be used to describe various chemical or physical interactions. Measuring binding or affinity is also routine to those skilled in the art. For example, compounds of the present technology can bind to or interact with a target of interest or precursors, portions, fragments and peptides thereof and/or their deposits. [0098] As indicated previously in this disclosure, in an aspect a method of treating a subject suffering from a cancer is provided, where the method includes administering to the subject an effective amount of a compound of any embodiment disclosed herein or administering an effective amount of a composition of any embodiment disclosed herein, and optionally an effective amount of second cancer therapy.

EXAMPLES [0102] All solvents and reagents were used as received from commercial suppliers, unless noted otherwise. 1H spectra were recorded on a Bruker AM or Varian 400 spectrometer (operating at 400 MHz respectively) in CDCl3 with 0.03% TMS as an internal standard. The chemical shifts (δ) reported are given in parts per million (ppm) and the coupling constants (J) are in Hertz (Hz). The spin multiplicities are reported as s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, q = quartet, dd = doublet of doublet, ddd = doublet of doublet of doublet, dt = doublet of triplet, td = triplet of doublet, and m = multiplet. The LCMS analysis was performed on a chromatograph with photodiode array UV detection and a TOF mass spectrometer. The mass spectrometer utilized a multimode source which simultaneously acquires ESI+/APCI+; a reference mass solution; and a make-up solvent which was introduced to the LC flow prior to the source to assist ionization. While single stereoisomers were isolated and obtained in high purity where indicated in the below examples, a final unambiguous assignment of absolute stereochemistry may be pending for certain sets of stereoisomers.

For concentration response curves, compounds were serially diluted 3- fold from 2 mM highest concentration 0.1013 mM to generate a 10-point curve, and 125 nL was transferred to the assay plate using the Echo acoustic dispenser for a final concentration range of 26.6 µM to 1.35 µM in 10 µL reaction. Five microliters of 10 nM PARP1 enzyme and 100nM core histones (2x) mix were added to the assay plates and pre-incubated for 30 mins at room temperature (RT). The reaction was initiated by the addition of a 5 µL of 10 uM β-NAD plus 0.02 mg/mL activated DNA (2X) mix. The reaction is incubated for 60 min at RT. The final concentration of the PARP1 enzyme and substrate concentrations were 5 nM and 5 uM, respectively. The positive control (high signal) and negative control (low signal) wells had 125 nL of DMSO in place of compounds. After the incubation is complete, the reaction is stopped by the addition of 10 uL of 10 uM of the 3ABA PARP1 inhibitor, incubated for 5 min at RT, and placed in the -80C freezer for shipment to the Valo Health site in Branford Connecticut where mass spectrometry will be used to directly detect quantities of nicotinamide (NAM). [0141] The percent inhibition of enzyme activity was calculated according to the following equation:

The values of Ssample, Shigh, and Slow in the equation refer to the NAM concentration detected in the assay wells, high control wells, and low control wells, respectively. To determine inhibitor IC50 values, % inhibition of the CRCs (concentration response curves) was fitted to the standard single-site four-parameter logistic equation.

[0147] Cell Culture Details: HCT116 is a human colon epithelial cell line, which grows adherently in tissue culture flasks. Cells are grown in T175-sized flasks. Split two times a week, at 70-80% confluence, varying from 1:5 - 1:10 splits, following standard adherent cell subculturing protocols. Media is kept refrigerated until day of cell-based activities and needs to be warmed to at least RT prior to usage. Cell Culture Media: McCoy’s 5A with 10%FBS, 2mM L-Glutamine, 20mM HEPES. Plating Media: McCoy’s 5A with 10%FBS, 2mM L-Glutamine, 20mM HEPES, 1% Antibiotic-Antimycotic solution. [0148] Procedure: [0149] Day 1: Cell Culture and Cell Plating: The cell culture and cell plating methods include the following steps: Warm media prior to cell culture; remove flask of cells from incubator and trypsinize cells in T175 flask using 0.25% Trypsin; return the flask to the incubator for ~5 minutes to allow the cells to fall away from the bottom of the flask; add 10uL of media to rinse bottom of the flask and add cells and media to a 50mL conical tube; spin cells at 1000rpm for 5min, aspirate out media, and resuspend pellet with 10mL fresh media; using the Cellometer Cell Counter, calculate the live cell count; using the live cell count, and the number of plates needed, calculate the amount of resuspended cell pellet media needed to add to fresh plating media to dispense 5uL/well at the density of 6000cell/well into the 384W plates; plate cells in 384W plates, 5uL of media in each well at 6000cells/well for the entire plate; gently shake plates (100rpm) for 20min after plating; and incubate plates at 37ºC, 5% CO2 overnight prior to treatment. [0150] Day 2: Compound and DNA damage treatment, fixation and primary staining: The methods include the following steps: Using the Labcyte Echo 555, treat the 384W cell seeded plates to achieve a top dose of 10uM for each compound. 40nL of 10mM top dose compound plates are stamped into the 40uL of cells in the seeded plates. The Labcyte compound source plates are DMSO-based with ten-point, threefold dose dilutions of compounds, starting at 10mM. The transfer volume using the Echo was 40nL; incubate for 5 hours at 37ºC, 5% CO2; add DNA damaging agent MMS to columns 1-23 of each cell seeded 384W plate by delivering 40nl of 19.2% MMS in DMSO using Echo in DMSO delivery mode, wherein the MMS stock concentration is 99% and must be diluted 1:5 in DMSO prior to delivery to cell plates; incubate cell plates at 37ºC, 5% CO2 for 30 minutes; evacuate media and add 75ul of cold methanol using BlueWasher, wherein the Bluewasher MagBeadSpeed setting for all evacuations is: Spins plate 5 sec clock-wise at 800RPM (35g); keep the dispense line and the methanol, chilled throughout fixation process, and use the staccato setting to break dispense into multiple squirts to minimize cell disruption; incubate fixed plates for 20 mins. on ice; wash full plate 1x with equal volume of cold DPBS and evacuate with Bluewasher at MagBeadSpeed; add 20ul of DPBS 0.1% Triton X- 100 to full plate and incubate 15 min at room temp and evacuate with Bluewasher at MagBeadSpeed; add 20ul of Roche block to the full plate and incubate for 60 minutes at room temperature and evacuate with Bluewasher at MagBeadSpeed; and add 20ul of PAR antibody (1:4,000) in Roche block, seal plate and incubate overnight at 4C. [0151] Day 3: Secondary Antibody Staining and Imaging: The methods include the following steps: Evacuate and wash plates (3X) with 25-30ul of DPBS 0.05% Tween 20 using the Bluewasher; add 20ul of anti-mouse AF488 secondary antibody (1:1,600) plus Hoechst (1:10,000) and incubate for 60min at room temperature; evacuate using MagBeadSpeed and wash 3-4X with 25-30ul of DPBS 0.05% Tween 20; add 30ul DPBS and seal plates; and image with CX7 – Circle (Nuclear) Mean Average Intensity Channel 1 (360) and Channel 2 (488) using Protocol ‘PAR_HCT116_MeOH_10X_2ChR’. Key acquisition settings: exposure of 488 channels to 70-80% and 1-2 fields. [0152] Data analysis: Raw data files are exported from the CX7 software, paired with barcoded compound plates to track compound ID, dose responses and Echo transfer records. This allows for import and QC analysis of dose response curves, and IC50 values determination. Images of each plate and well on both imaged channels can be exported as well. The percent inhibition of PARylation activity was calculated according to the following equation:
Figure imgf000083_0001
The values of Ssample, Shigh, and Slow in the equation refer to the PARylation levels detected in the assay wells, high control wells, and low control wells, respectively. To determine inhibitor IC50 values, % inhibition of the CRCs (concentration response curves) was fitted to the standard single-site four-parameter logistic equation. [0153] Assay Principle: Cellular levels of PARylation of PARP1/2 substrate proteins (PARP1 and histones) are measured with an anti-PAR antibody using an immunofluorescence assay upon DNA damage based on https://f1000research.com/articles/5-736/v2. PARP inhibitors, when co-treated with the DNA damaging agent MMS, reduce the levels of PARylation.

[0156] Equipment:
Figure imgf000084_0002
[0157] Procedure [0158] Day 1: Cell Culture and Cell Plating: The method includes the following steps: count cells (using Nexcelom cellometer and record cell count); spin cells at 1000rpm for 5min and re-suspend pellet with fresh media; and plate cells in 1536 well plate at specific cells/well density based on density optimization testing (or DLD1 parental (historically) 100 cell/well; for DLD1 BRCA2+/- vs. -/- null is 125 cell/well; uL of cells/well in columns 1-47 for 1536w plates); gently shake plates (100rpm) for 30min at room temperature before transfer to incubator (37ºC, 5% CO2); and incubate plates (37ºC, 5% CO2) for 24h prior to treatment. [0159] Day 2: Compound Treatment: For 1536w, compound stamping was 25nl of 10mM on the top concentration of the source plate compounds, resulting in 50uM top dose concentration used for cell-based proliferation assay. Positive control SAHA is stamped to 10uM final concentration [0160] Days 3-7: Plate Incubation: Plates are left to incubate at 37ºC, 5% CO2 for a total of 120h/5 days after compound addition. [0161] Days 3-7: Readout Reagent Addition and Plate Reading: After incubation, plates are removed from the incubator, and the designated read out reagent is added to the cell plates. See below for details based on the specific readout. ^ CTG Readout: Remove CTG 2.0 reagent from the fridge and bring to room temperature prior to use; add 4uL/well CTG to all wells of each cell plate; incubate plates at 37ºC, 5% CO2, 30 minutes for 1536w plates; and read plates using luminescence-specific protocol on designated plate readers; BMGs or Envisions have CTG-specific protocols. ^ CyQUANT Readout: Remove Cyquant Direct Cell Proliferation Assay Kit from the fridge and bring to room temperature prior to use. The reagents may need to be heated up in a drybath to thaw; calculate the total volume required based on well dispensed to ensure enough detection reagent is needed. Make up the detection reagent by combining the following assay recipe: PBS: 11.7 mL; CyQuant® Direct nucleic acid stain: 48 µL; and CyQuant® Direct background suppressor: 240 µL; add 2ul/well Cyquant reagent mix to all wells; incubate plates at 37ºC, 5% CO2, for 60 minutes; read plates using CyQuant- specific protocol on designated plate readers BMGs or EnVisions with specific 1536w protocol (CyQUANTDirect—508/527nm; CyQUANTDirect Red—622/645 nm). ^ CTF Readout: Remove CTF reagent from the freezer and bring to room temperature prior to use, prepare 1X reagent and vortex to dissolve (reagent stable at RT for 24h or at 4C for 7 days); add 4ul/well CTF to all wells and incubate plates at 37ºC, 5% CO2, 180 minutes (3h); and read plates using fluorescence-specific protocol on designated plate readers (BMGs or Envisions have CTF-specific protocols (Ex 380-400; Em 505)). ^ One Pot Live-Dead HCS Readout: After incubation, plates are removed from the incubator; for 1536 well plates, make 4mL 1X PBS and add 8 drops of Propidium Iodide reagent + 4uL of Hoechst 333242; mix and then using a Multidrop Combi dispense 1uL/well with medium speed; for 384 well plates: make 6mL 1X PBS and add 12 drops of Propidium Iodide reagent + 6uL of Hoechst 333242, mix and then using a Multidrop Combi dispense 8uL/well with medium speed; incubate for 30 minutes at 37ºC, 5% CO2; seal the plates with an aluminum seal; spin for 2 minutes at 1000 RPM in a spin bucket centrifuge; load plate onto CX7; and acquire data. Analyzed data is then exported as spot fire file and then processed in ABASE. [0162] Data analysis for CTG, CyQUANT and CTF readouts: Raw data files are exported from the BMG, Envision and CX7 readers, paired with barcoded compound plates to track compound ID, dose responses and Echo transfer records. This allows for import and QC analysis of dose response curves, and IC50 values determination. Data and images of each plate and well on both imaged channels can be exported as well. The percent inhibition of growth activity was calculated according to the following equation:
Figure imgf000086_0001
The values of Ssample, Shigh, and Slow in the equation refer to the assay signals detected in the wells, high control wells, and low control wells, respectively. To determine inhibitor IC50 values, % inhibition of the CRCs (concentration response curves) was fitted to the standard single-site four-parameter logistic equation. [0163] Assay Principle: Cell viability is measured with assays that detect live-cell readouts: intracellular ATP (CTG), DNA (CyQUANT) and peptidase activity with cell permeant substrate Gly-Phe-AFC (CTF) using luminescence or fluorescence assays upon cell proliferation in the presence of PARP inhibitor compounds [0164] BPS Bioscience Selectivity Assay for PARP2 versus PARP1 [0165] This example describes experiments showing the selectivity of compounds of the present technology for PARP1 over PARP2. As discussed previously in this disclosure, selectivity for PARP1 over PARP2 is desirable because PARP1 is primarily responsible for cytotoxicity in cancer cells, whereas PARP2 is essential in PARP1-/- mice and plays important roles in hematopoiesis. Notably, common side effects of current PARP1 inhibitors like talazoparib, olaparib, rucaparib, niraparib, and veliparib are neutropenia and anemia, where such common side effects appear to stem from co-inhibition of PARP2 by these inhibitors. [0166] In general, the experiments were performed according to the protocols described and with the reagents indicated in the BPS Bioscience PARP1 Chemiluminescent Assay Kit (384-well; BPS Bioscience Catalog # 80569) and in the BPS Bioscience PARP2 Chemiluminescent Assay Kit (384-well; BPS Bioscience Catalog # 80552-2). Thus, per these protocols, the enzymatic reactions were conducted in duplicate at room temperature for 1 hour in a 384 well plate pre-coated with histone substrate. The 25 µl reaction mixtures in PARP Assay Buffer containing substrate, enzyme, and the respective test compound were incubated at room temperature for 60 min.
Figure imgf000087_0001
The wells then were washed five times with PBST. Next, 25 μl of Streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase (prepared with Blocking Buffer 3) was added to each well and the plate was incubated at room temperature for an additional 30 min. The wells were washed again and 50 µl ELISA ECL substrate was added to each well. Luminescence was measured using a BioTek SynergyTM 2 microplate reader. PARP activity assays were performed in duplicates. [0167] The luminescence data were analyzed using the computer software, Graphpad Prism. In the absence of the compound, the luminescence (Lt) in each data set was defined as 100% activity. In the absence of the PARP, the luminescence (Lb) in each data set was defined as 0% activity. The percent activity in the presence of each compound was calculated according to the following equation: % activity = [(L- Lb)/(Lt - Lb)]×100, where L= the luminescence in the presence of the compound, Lb = the luminescence in the absence of the PARP, and Lt = the luminescence in the absence of the compound. The percent inhibition was calculated according to the following equation: % inhibition = 100 - % activity. The values of % activity versus a series of compound concentrations were then plotted using non-linear regression analysis of Sigmoidal dose-response curve generated with the equation Y=B+(T-B)/1+10 ((LogEC50-X)×Hill Slope) where Y=percent activity, B=minimum percent activity, T=maximum percent activity, X= logarithm of compound and Hill Slope=slope factor or Hill coefficient. The IC50 value was determined by the concentration causing a half-maximal percent activity. [0168] Table 2 provides representative initial results from the above-described BPS Bioscience Selectivity Assay for exemplary compounds of the present technology, including the ratio of the PARP2 IC50 in µM to the PARP1 IC50 in µM ([PARP2 IC50 in µM]/[PARP1 IC50 in µM]; “PARP2/PARP1”). A PARP2/PARP1 of about 3 or greater would be considered significantly selective. In addition, the compound AZD5305 (depicted below) is regarded by the art as extraordinarily selective for PARP1 over PARP2 (Illuzzi et al. “Preclinical Characterization of AZD5305, A Next-Generation, Highly Selective PARP1 Inhibitor and Trapper” Clin Cancer Res.2022, 28(21), 4724-4736; doi: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-22-0301) and has been shown to exhibit a PARP2/PARP1 of 4.8 according to the above-described BPS Bioscience Selectivity Assay.

[0169] As illustrated in Table 3, compounds of the present technology exhibit significant selectivity for PARP1 over PARP2. [0170] MDCK-MDR1 Permeability Assay Results for Exemplary Compounds of the Present Technology [0171] The bi-directional assay containing a Mandin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell line transfected with human MDR1 gene (P-glycoprotein; P-gp) designed to overexpress the MDR1 efflux transporter, a major efflux transporter at the blood brain barrier (BBB), uses an established method that measures the rate of flux of a compound across polarized cell monolayers. As well appreciated in the art, the data generated from the MDCK-MDR1 permeability assay may be used to predict in vivo absorption of drugs. The bi-directional MDCK-MDR1 permeability assay can identify and quantify levels of active efflux. Screening compounds in both the apical to basolateral direction (A→B) and basolateral to apical direction (B→A) across the cell monolayer provides a ratio of B→A/A→B (efflux ratio; “ER”). Unlike the Caco-2 assay, the MDCK-MDR1 assay is not subject to potential efflux interference by breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP). When a compound has an ER of greater than 2, it suggests that the compound may be subject to active efflux. The data may further be used to predict blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability via calculation from the data of log(permeability- surface area product) (“logPS”), well-understood to be predictive of the in vivo log([brain concentration]/[plasma concentration]). [0172] Compounds of the present technology will be run in the bi-directional MDCK-MDR1 assay. It is expected that compounds of the present technology will exhibit significant efflux in the apical to basolateral direction (A→B) and/or have an ER of about 2 or less. [0173] In vivo CNS Penetration of Exemplary Compounds of the Present Technology [0174] Compounds of the present technology are predicted to show BBB passage according to internal proprietary predictive models. These predictive models have been further verified by in vivo experiments for other compounds. In particular, in vivo unbound brain to plasma ratio (Kpuu) will be measured at steady state by comparison of free drug concentrations (protein binding corrected) in brain and plasma after continuous intravenous infusion in Sprague Dawley rats over 24 hours, where a Kpuu of >0.3 represents good brain exposure of the compound. It is expected that compounds of the present technology will exhibit in vivo Kpuu values generally accepted to be predictive of clinical brain penetrance.
