VR23 

VR23 is a small molecule that potently inhibits the activities of trypsin-like proteasomes (IC₅₀=1 nM), chymotrypsin-like proteasomes (IC₅₀=50-100 nM), and caspase-like proteasomes (IC₅₀=3 μM).

IC50: 1 nM (trypsin-like proteasome), 50-100 nM (chymotrypsin-like proteasome), 3 μM (caspase-like proteasome)

VR23 is a novel proteasome inhibitor targeting β2 of the 20S proteasome subunit. VR23 produces a synergistic effect in killing multiple myeloma cells, including those that were resistant to PS-341. VR23 as a structurally novel proteasome inhibitor with desirable properties as an anticancer agent.
