Carfilzomib (PR-171)
An epoxomicin derivate with potential antineoplastic activity. It irreversibly binds to and inhibits the chymotrypsin-like activity of the 20S proteasome, an enzyme responsible for degrading a large variety of cellular proteins. Inhibition of proteasome-mediated proteolysis results in an accumulation of polyubiquinated proteins, which may lead to cell cycle arrest, induction of apoptosis, and inhibition of tumor growth.

General tips | We do not recommend long-term storage for the solution, please use it up soon. |
Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines |
HT-29 colorectal adenocarcinoma cells |
Preparation method |
The solubility of this compound in DMSO is >10 mM. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37 °C for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while.Stock solution can be stored below -20°C for several months. |
Reaction Conditions |
1 h; IC50=9 nM |
Applications |
Incubation of HT-29 colorectal adenocarcinoma cells with PR-171 for 1 h resulted in a dose-dependent inhibition of all three proteasome catalytic activities with the chymotrypsin-like activity exhibiting the greatest sensitivity (IC50=9 nM). The caspase-like and trypsin-like activities were inhibited to a greater extent in the cellular assay (IC50=150-200 nM) than in the isolated enzyme assay (IC50 >1 μM). |
Animal experiment [1]: | |
Animal models |
BNX mice |
Dosage form |
5 mg/kg delivered weekly; QDx2; intravenous injection |
Applications |
The antitumor activity of PR-171 was evaluated in BNX mice bearing established human tumor xenografts derived from three tumor cell lines: HT-29 (colorectal adenocarcinoma), RL (B cell lymphoma ), and HS-Sultan (Burkitt’s lymphoma). All PR-171 dosing schedules (up to 5 mg/kg delivered weekly QDx2) were tolerated in the tumor-bearing animals, resulting in weight loss of |
Other notes |
Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal. |
