General information

Class/mechanism: Second-generation proteasome inhibitor that interferes with degradation of ubiquitinated proteins by binding irreversibly to the 20S proteasome, which is the proteolytic core particle inside the 26S proteasome. This disrupts normal homeostatic mechanisms, leading to impaired tumor proliferation, apoptosis/cell death.[1][2][3][4][5]
