Chemical Name: (2R,3S,4R)-3-Hydroxy-2-[(1S)-1-hydr­oxy-2-methylpropyl]-4-methyl-5-oxo-2-pyrrolidineca­rboxy-N-acetyl-L-cysteine thioester

Biological Activity

A cell-permeable, potent and selective proteasome inhibitor. A Streptomyces metabolite that is thought to bind irreversibly to the active site N-terminal threonine residue of the catalytic β-subunit of the 20S proteasome, thereby inhibiting its chymotrypsin and trypsin-like activities. Induces neurite outgrowth in Neuro 2a neuroblastoma cells and has been reported to induce apoptosis in human monoblast U937 cells. Also inhibits NF-κB activation (IC50 = 10 μM).
