How It Works

Reversible inhibition of the 26S proteasome, disrupting protein degradation and leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in cancer cells.

Mechanism Steps

1Bortezomib enters cancer cells and binds reversibly to the 20S proteasome subunit.
2Inhibition of chymotrypsin-like activity of the proteasome.
3Accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins and regulatory proteins (e.g., p53, IΞΊB).
