Oprozomib

Oprozomib[1] (codenamed ONX 0912 and PR-047) is an orally active second-generation proteasome inhibitor developed by Proteolix, which was acquired by Onyx Pharmaceuticals, an Amgen subsidiary, in 2009. It selectively inhibits chymotrypsin-like activity of both the constitutive proteasome (PSMB5) and immunoproteasome (LMP7).[2]

It is being investigated for the treatment of hematologic malignancies, specifically, multiple myeloma, with Phase 1b studies ongoing (as of February 16, 2016).[3] Being an epoxyketone derivative, oprozomib is structurally related to carfilzomib and has the added benefit of being orally bioavailable. Like carfilzomib, it is active against bortezomib-resistant multiple myeloma cells.[4]

Oprozomib was granted orphan drug status for the treatment of Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia and multiple myeloma in 2014.[5]
