A series of novel tetrapeptidyl epoxyketone inhibitors of 20S proteasome was designed and synthesized. To fully understand the SAR, various groups at R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 positions, including aromatic and aliphatic substituents were designed, synthesized and biologically assayed. Based on the enzymatic results, seven compounds were selected to evaluate their cellular activities and soluble compound 36 showed strong potency against human multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines. Microsomal stability results indicated that compound 36 was more stable in mice, rat and human microsomes than marketed carfilzomib. The in vivo activities of this compound were evaluated with the xenograft mice models of MM cell lines ARH77 and RPMI-8226 with luciferase expression and the T/C value of the two models were 49.5% and 37.6%, respectively. To evaluate the potential cardiovascular toxicity, inhibition of hERG ion channel in HEK293 cells by compound 36 and carfilzomib was carried out. The results indicated that 36 had no binding affinity for the hERG ion channel while carfilzomib could bind it with IC50 of 92.1 μM.

A series of dipeptide aldehydes containing different N-terminal heterocycles was prepared and assayed in vitro against α-chymotrypsin to ascertain the importance of the heterocycle in maintaining a β-strand geometry while also providing a hydrogen bond do

The Plasmodium proteasome represents a potential antimalarial drug target for compounds with activity against multiple life cycle stages. We screened a library of human proteasome inhibitors (peptidyl boronic acids) and compared activities against purified P. falciparum and human 20S proteasomes. We chose four hits that potently inhibit parasite growth and show a range of selectivities for inhibition of the growth of P. falciparum compared with human cell lines. P. falciparum was selected for resistance in vitro to the clinically used proteasome inhibitor, bortezomib, and whole genome sequencing was applied to identify mutations in the proteasome β5 subunit. Active site profiling revealed inhibitor features that enable retention of potent activity against the bortezomib-resistant line. Substrate profiling reveals P. falciparum 20S proteasome active site preferences that will inform attempts to design more selective inhibitors. This work provides a starting point for the identification of antimalarial drug leads that selectively target the P. falciparum proteasome.
