Marizomib (formerly also known as ML-858, NPI-0052 and Salinosporamide A), a naturally occurring salinosporamide with potential antineoplastic activity has been isolated from the marine actinomycete Salinospora tropica. It is a strong and selective inhibitor of the 20S proteasome (IC50 = 1.3 nM). Marizomib prevents compensatory hyperactivation in patients with solid tumors and multiple myeloma by irreversibly inhibiting the proteasome. Marizomib's capacity to cross the blood-brain barrier is its sole therapeutic action in malignant gliomas. Compared to its reversible analogs, marizomib shows longer inhibition, reduced efflux, and increased cytotoxicity.

Biological Activity
| Targets | CT-L (IC50 = 3.5 nM); CT-T-laspase-like (IC50 = 28 nM); trypsin-like (IC50 = 430 nM) |
| ln Vitro |
Marizomib (Salinosporamide A) (0.1-10000 nM; 72 hours) effectively and dose-dependently decreases D-54 and U-251 cell survival. For D-54 and U-251, the IC50s are ≤20 nM and ~52 nM, respectively[1]. Marizomib (24 hours; 60 nM) causes apoptosis and caspase-3 activation in glioma cells[1]. |
| ln Vivo | Marizomib (Salinosporamide A) (0.15 mg/kg; i.v; twice a week for three weeks) is associated with no toxicity and significantly reduces the growth of tumors[3]. |
| Cell Assay | Proteasome activity is assessed in neural stem cells and glioblastoma-derived glioma stem cells at baseline and two hours following marizomib (60 nM) treatment. Using Matrigel invasion chambers, the invading potential of D-54 MG and U-251 MG cells treated or not treated with 60 nM marizomib for a 24-hour period is examined. |
| Animal Protocol |
CB-17 SCID-male mice (4-6 weeks old)[3] 0.15 mg/kg i.v; twice a week for three weeks |

| Additional Infomation |
Salinosporamide A is a salinosporamide in which the core (1R)-6-oxa-2-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-3,7-dione skeleton is substituted at positions 1, 4, and 5 by (1S)-cyclohex-2-en-1-yl(hydroxy)methyl, 2-chloroethyl, and methyl groups, respectively (the 1R,4R,5S diastereoisomer). A potent proteasome inhibitor, it has attracted interest for potential use in the treatment of various cancers. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent and a proteasome inhibitor. It is a salinosporamide, an organochlorine compound, an organic heterobicyclic compound, a beta-lactone and a gamma-lactam. Marizomib has been used in trials studying the treatment of Cancer, Melanoma, Lymphoma, Glioblastoma, and Malignant Glioma, among others. Marizomib has been reported in Salinispora and Salinispora tropica with data available. Marizomib is a naturally-occurring salinosporamide, isolated from the marine actinomycete Salinospora tropica, with potential antineoplastic activity. Marizomib irreversibly binds to and inhibits the 20S catalytic core subunit of the proteasome by covalently modifying its active site threonine residues; inhibition of ubiquitin-proteasome mediated proteolysis results in an accumulation of poly-ubiquitinated proteins, which may result in the disruption of cellular processes, cell cycle arrest, the induction of apoptosis, and the inhibition of tumor growth and angiogenesis. This agent more may more potent and selective than the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib. Drug Indication Treatment of malignant glial tumours |
