PCR inhibitors are any factor which prevent the amplification of nucleic acids through the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). [1] PCR inhibition is the most common cause of amplification failure when sufficient copies of DNA are present. [2] PCR inhibitors usually affect PCR through interaction with DNA or interference with the DNA polymerase.

PARP inhibitors are a call of drugs that are a group of pharmacological inhibitors of the enzyme poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP), which plays a role in repairing DNA in damaged cells. Medical uses of these drugs include the treatment of heritable cancers . [ 1 ]
Reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (RTIs) are a class of antiretroviral drugs used to treat HIV infection or AIDS, and in some cases hepatitis B. RTIs inhibit activity of reverse transcriptase , a viral DNA polymerase that is required for replication of HIV and other retroviruses .
Some nucleoside analogues, however, can function both as NRTIs and polymerase inhibitors for other viruses (e.g., hepatitis B). Less selective nucleoside analogues are used as chemotherapy agents to treat cancer, e.g. gemcitabine. They are also used as antiplatelet drugs to prevent the formation of blood clots, ticagrelor and cangrelor.
Classic DNA inhibitors such as the quinolones act upon DNA gyrase as a topoisomerase inhibitor. [2] Another group of DNA inhibitors, including nitrofurantoin and metronidazole, act upon anaerobic bacteria. [3] These act by generating metabolites that are incorporated into DNA strands, which then are more prone to breakage. [4] These drugs are ...
