Oprozomib[1] (codenamedONX 0912 andPR-047) is an orally active second-generationproteasome inhibitor developed by Proteolix, which was acquired byOnyx Pharmaceuticals, anAmgen subsidiary, in 2009. It selectively inhibitschymotrypsin-like activity of both the constitutive proteasome (PSMB5) and immunoproteasome (LMP7).[2]
It is being investigated for the treatment ofhematologic malignancies, specifically,multiple myeloma, withPhase 1b studies ongoing (as of February 16, 2016).[3] Being an epoxyketone derivative, oprozomib is structurally related tocarfilzomib and has the added benefit of being orallybioavailable. Like carfilzomib, it is active againstbortezomib-resistant multiple myeloma cells.[4]
Oprozomib was grantedorphan drug status for the treatment ofWaldenström's macroglobulinaemia andmultiple myeloma in 2014.[5]
