Background:

Bortezomib(originally codenamedPS-341) is the first therapeutic proteasome inhibitor to the tested in humans. It is approved in the U.S. for treating relapsed multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma. [1] The drug is an N-protected dipeptide and can be written as Pyz-Phe-boroLeu, which stands for pyrazinoic acid, phenylalanine and Leucine with a boronic acid instead of a carboxylic acid. Peptides are written N-terminus to C-terminus, and this convention is used here even though the "C-terminus" is a boronic acid instead of a carboxylic acid. While multiple mechanisms are likely to be involved, proteasome inhibition may prevent degradation of pro-apoptotic factors, permitting activation of programmed cell death in neoplastic cells dependent upon suppression of pro-apoptotic pathways. Recently, it was found that bortezomib caused a rapid and dramatic change in the levels of intracellular peptides that are produced by the proteasome. [2] Some intracellular peptides have been shown to be biologically active, and so the effect of bortezomib on the levels of intracellular peptides may contribute to the biological and/or side effects of the drug.

A potent (Ki = 0.6 nM), specific and reversible proteasome inhibitor. It inhibits cell proliferation of H460 cells (Human non-small cell lung cancer cell lines) with an IC?? of 0.1 μM.
