MG132 is a specific potent reversible and cell permeable proteasome inhibitor

Apr 22 2013

MG-132 displays >1000 times more activity than ZLLal in inhibiting the ZLLL-MCA-degrading activity of 20S proteasome with IC50 of 100 nM versus 110 μM. MG-132 also inhibits calpain with IC50 of 1.2 μM. MG-132 induces neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells at an optimal concentration of 20 nM. >Read the Full Post

PS341 was tested in a small Phase I clinical trial on patients with multiple myeloma cancer

Mar 25 2013

PS-341 is the first therapeutic proteasome inhibitor to be tested in humans. It is approved in the U.S. for treating relapsed multiple myeloma[1] and mantle cell lymphoma. In multiple myeloma, complete clinical responses have been obtained in patients with otherwise refractory or rapidly advancing disease. >Read the Full Post

Telaprevir is an associate of a class of antiviral drugs

Mar 21 2013

Telaprevir is an associate of a class of antiviral drugs called protease inhibitors. Especially, telaprevir prevents the hepatitis C viral enzyme NS3.4A serine protease. Telaprevir is just indicated for use against hepatitis d genotype 1 viral infections and hasnt been which can have an impact on or being protected when employed for other genotypes of the herpes virus. The standard therapy of ribavirin and pegylated interferon is less successful on genotype 1 and a welcome addition is offered by telaprevir to the treatment of this genotype. >Read the Full Post

Telaprevir has very poor penetration of the blood brain

Nov 15 2012

The principal metabolic fate of loperamide in humans involves oxidative N dealkylation to N demethyl loperamide as the principal metabolite. In human liver microsomes, cytochrome P450 3A4 appears to be the major isozyme responsible for loperamide metabolism, with minor contributions from CYP2B6 >Read the Full Post

BORTEZOMIB: AN ANTI-PROTEASOMAL AGENT

Jul 01 2012

BORTEZOMIB: INTRODUCTION In cell among the tiny organelles proteasomes are the foremost vital ones. They play necessary role in the correct regulation of the cell cycle by removing the proteins that don't seem to be necessary for cell. In cancer cell it rarely happens that the proteins which are involved in the controlling the dysregulated growth of the cells are excised by proteasomes. A promising target for the therapy of cancer is to inhibit proteasomes so that the uncontrolled growth is inhibited. A variety of compounds were typically used for cancer therapy that inhibits proteasomes. Among them EGCG additionally referred to as Epigallocatechin-3-gallate, Disulfiram and Salinosporamide-A that are present in green tea were used. The primary inhibitor of proteasomes that got approved to enter clinical trials for cancer therapy is Bortezomib. >Read the Full Post

BORTEZOMIB: AN ANTI-PROTEIN DEGRADATION AGENT

Jun 20 2012

BORTEZOMIB Proteasomes belong to one of the important small organelles present in cell. Cell cycle is regulated by these proteasomes as they remove any unnecessary protein from cell. Usually during the cancer state the proteins which inhibit uncontrolled cell development of cancer are chopped down by these proteasomes. To stop chop these abnormal proteins properly inhibition of proteasomes is necessary which offers a good target for cancer therapy. For cancer treatment a lot of various compounds are being employed that cause proteasomes inhibition for example e.g., green tea having Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), Salinosporamide-A and Disulfiram. Bortezomib was entitled to be first inhibitor that got approval to enter clinical studies for treatment of cancer. >Read the Full Post

BORTEZOMIB; INHIBITING PROTEIN DEGRADATION

May 17 2012

BORTEZOMIB Poteasomes are one of the very important small organelles present in the cell. They have an important role in cell cycle regulation by degrading un-necessary proteins present in the cell. Sometimes in cancerous cells, the proteins that play a role in inhibiting un-regulated proliferation of cells are degraded by proteasomes. Inhibition of proteasomes in order to inhibit un-regulated growth is an attractive target in cancer therapy. Different proteasome inhibiting compounds have been used conventionally for the treatment of cancer e.g., green tea having Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), Salinosporamide-A and Disulfiram. Bortezomib is the first proteasomal inhibitor that has got approval for clinical studies for the treatment of cancer. >Read the Full Post
