MV151 is a fluorescent broad-spectrum proteasome inhibitor for labeling proteasomes in vitro and in vivo. MV151 specifically targets all active subunits of the proteasome and immunoproteasome in living cells, allowing for rapid and sensitive in-gel detection. The inhibition profile of a panel of commonly used proteasome inhibitors could be readily determined by MV151 labeling. Administration of MV151 to mice allowed for in vivo labeling of proteasomes, which correlated with inhibition of proteasomal degradation in the affected tissues. This probe can be used for many applications ranging from clinical profiling of proteasome activity, to biochemical analysis of subunit specificity of inhibitors, and to cell biological analysis of the proteasome function and dynamics in living cells.
Gliotoxin-13C13is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of gliotoxin by GC- or LC-MS. Gliotoxin is an immunosuppressive mycotoxin produced by pathogenic strains ofAspergillusand other fungi with diverse biological activities.1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8It inhibits 20S proteasomal chymotrypsin activity (IC50= 10 μM), blocking the degradation of IκBα and preventing the activation of NF-κB.2,3Gliotoxin induces apoptosis in monocytes and dendritic cells and reduces phagocytosis by neutrophils.4,5It suppresses viral infection by Nipah and Hendra virus in HEK293T cells (IC50s = 149 and 579 nM, respectively).6Under reducing conditions, gliotoxin inhibits leukotriene A4hydrolase epoxide hydrolase activity, but not aminopeptidase activity, and leukotriene B4synthesis in neutrophils and monocytes.7
Promotes proteasomal degradation of Miro1 (mitochondrial Rho GTPase 1). Reduces Miro1 levels in fibroblasts from Parkinson's disease (PD) patients (IC50 = 7.8 μM). Exhibits no significant effect on related outer mitochondrial membrane protein Mitofusin. Reduces stress-induced degeneration of dopaminergic neurons derived from PD patient iPSCs. Rescues age-dependent neuronal loss and prolongs lifespan in fly PD models.
CP5V, a PROTAC, induces mitotic inhibition, and suppresses cancer cell proliferation. It specifically degrades Cdc20 by linking Cdc20 to the VHL VBC complex for ubiquitination followed by proteasomal degradation.
JH-XI-10-02 causes proteasomal degradation, does not affect CDK8 mRNA levels. JH-XI-10-02 shows no effect on CDK19. JH-XI-10-02 is a potent and selective degrader of CDK8, with an IC50 of 159 nM, based on PROTAC.
CEP-1612 is a proteasomal inhibitor responsible for the proteolysis of proteins that regulate important cell cycles and apoptosis. CEP-1612 can induce p21WAF1 and p27KIP1 expression and apoptosis, and inhibit tumor growth of human lung cancer.
RB-005 is a potent sphingosine kinase isoform 1 (SK1) inhibitor, which may serve as therapeutic agent for proliferative diseases, including hypertension. RB-005, (IC(50) = 3.6 μM), which also induced proteasomal degradation of SK1 in human pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells.
CEP-18770 is an orally bioavailable synthetic P2 threonine boronic acid inhibitor of the chymotrypsin-like activity of the proteasome, with potential antineoplastic activity. Proteasome inhibitor CEP 18770 represses the proteasomal degradation of a variety of proteins, including inhibitory kappaBalpha (IkappaBalpha), resulting in the cytoplasmic sequestration of the transcription factor NF-kappaB; inhibition of NF-kappaB nuclear translocation and transcriptional up-regulation of a variety of cell growth-promoting factors; and apoptotic cell death in susceptible tumor cell populations. In vitro studies indicate that this agent exhibits a favorable cytotoxicity profile toward normal human epithelial cells, bone marrow progenitors, and bone marrow-derived stromal cells relative to the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib. The intracellular protein IkappaBalpha functions as a primary inhibitor of the proinflammatory transcription factor NF-kappaB.
(S)-FTY-720 Vinylphosphonate inhibits sphingosine kinase 1 and promotes its proteasomal degradation in human pulmonary artery smooth muscle, breast cancer cells, and androgen-independent prostate cancer cells.
Luminespib, also known as AUY-922, NVP-AUY922, VER52296, is a derivative of 4,5-diarylisoxazole and a third-generation heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitor with potential antineoplastic activity. Hsp90 inhibitor AUY922 has been shown to bind with high affinity to and inhibit Hsp90, resulting in the proteasomal degradation of oncogenic client proteins; the inhibition of cell proliferation; and the elevation of heat shock protein 72 (Hsp72) in a wide range of human tumor cell lines.
BIIB028 is a small-molecule inhibitor of heat shock protein (Hsp) 90 with potential antineoplastic activity. Hsp90 inhibitor BIIB028 blocks the binding of oncogenic client proteins to Hsp90, which may result in the proteasomal degradation of these proteins and so the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation. Hsp90 is a molecular chaperone that plays a key role in the conformational maturation of oncogenic signaling proteins, such as Her2/Erbb2, Akt, Raf1, Bcr-Abl, and mutated p53, in addition to other molecules involved in cell cycle regulation and immune responses.
PROTAC Mcl1 degrader-1 induces the ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of Mcl-1 by introducing the E3 ligase cereblon (CRBN)-binding ligand pomalidomide to Mcl-1 inhibitor S1-6 with μM-range affinity. PROTAC Mcl1 degrader-1, a proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC), is a potently and selectively Mcl-1 inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.78 μM.
Radicicol is an antifungal antibiotic, impairs mitochondrial replication by targeting P. falciparum topoisomerase VIB. Radicicol is an inhibitor of Hsp90 (IC50: 1 μM). Radicicol binds to the ATPase domain of Hsp90 and prevents maturation of Hsp90 clients,
