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]

Route: IV
Extravasation: no information
NDC: NDC 76075-101-01; NDC 76075-0101-01

For conciseness and simplicity, HemOnc.org currently will focus on treatment regimens and not list information such as: renal/hepatic dose adjustments, metabolism (including CYP450), excretion, monitoring parameters (although this will be considered for checklists), or manufacturer. Instead, for the most current information, please refer to your preferred pharmacopeias such as Micromedex, Lexicomp, Medscape, UpToDate (courtesy of Lexicomp), or the prescribing information.[1]
