Abstract
The ubiquitin-proteasome system processes the majority of cellular proteins and is the principal manner by which cells regulate protein homeostasis. The successful development of bortezomib for multiple myeloma and previously treated mantle cell lymphoma has validated the proteasome as a therapeutic target for hematological malignancies. MLN9708 was identified in screens for a proteasome inhibitor with greater antitumor activity than bortezomib in preclinical xenograft models. MLN9708 immediately hydrolyzes to MLN2238, the biologically active form, upon exposure to aqueous solutions or plasma. MLN2238 was used for all preclinical studies described below
