Abstract
Sulfur mustard (SM) is a chemical warfare agent leading to severe blistering of skin and mucosal surfaces, and as a long-term effect, to an increased risk for malignancies. At the molecular level, SM acts as a bifunctional alkylating agent, leading to DNA mono-adducts and di-adducts. This review is focussed on the role of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation in the cell and tissue responses to SM-induced damage and potential role of inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation as therapeutic agents for SM injury.
