Proteasome Inhibitor

Overview

Proteasomes are small, barrel shaped structures that are found in all cells. They play an important role in maintaining a healthy cell environment by removing ineffective proteins. This is important because cancerous plasma cells produce large amounts of ineffective proteins.

A proteasome inhibitor temporarily stops (or inhibits) the proteasomes from doing their job. This allows the ineffective proteins to build up inside of the cancer cell until it ultimately destroys itself.

There are several proteasome inhibitors that are approved for use in multiple myeloma. This classification of drug is currently given in one of three ways - as an IV infusion, as a shot in the abdominal area or as an oral pill.
