Carfilzomib is a second-generation tetrapeptide epoxyketone proteasome inhibitor1,2

Identification of the carfilzomib binding region at the 20S proteasome, the proteolytic core particle within the 26S proteasome.
  • Binds irreversibly to the 20S proteasome, the proteolytic core particle within the 26S proteasome1
  • Antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic activities in preclinical models1
  • Minimal inhibition against a panel of 21 non-proteasomal proteases in vitro1
