The goal is to optimize the proteasome\u00a0inhibition\u00a0effect, make the compound even more selective of tumor cells and eliminate the resistance problems found with\u00a0drugs\u00a0that are currently available on the market.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The proteasome, which belongs to a category of enzymes called proteases, is a protein compound that governs numerous core functions in cells.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The functions include managing the cell\u00a0division\u00a0process, proliferation and apoptosis (or programmed cell death), as well as eradicating non-functioning or harmful proteins.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Carfilzomib, a drug based on the natural molecule epoxomicin, was approved in 2012.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the same year, researchers from the United States and Brazil were able to isolate a similar molecule called epozyketone from carmaphycin, a species of cyanobacterium\u00a0 found in the Caribbean.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The reactive group (the part of the molecule able to interact with the proteasome) of both compounds are the same.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Epoxyketones are very potent selective inhibitors of the proteasome because they interact with this enzyme in two stages: the first reversible and the second irreversible,&#8221; Trivella explained.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Scienteists from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the\u00a0University of California\u00a0in San Diego created artificial analogs of the compounds with small modifications in the structure, to optimize their effect and try to find additional reactive groups.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With the newly developed substances&#8217; proteaseome\u00a0inhibition, the team plans to synthesize and test other possibilities of the compound and determine their impact on therapeutic applications, such as killing malignant tumor cells and leaving healthy ones intact.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Link:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinatopix.com\/articles\/9497\/20140910\/new-discovery-improve-future-chemotherapies.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">China Topix<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>China Topix &#8211; 10\/09\/2014 Scientists have found a new\u00a0mechanism\u00a0to suppress proteasomes, structures of protein that are targeted in cancer therapies.
