Description: b-AP15 is a novel inhibitor of proteasome deubiquitination. b-AP15 displays antitumor activity in several preclinical, solid tumor models. b-AP15 triggers time- and dose-dependent apoptosis of the human multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines RPMI8226 and U266, as determined by phosphatidylserine exposure. Furthermore, b-AP15 triggered processing of pro-caspase-3 and cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase in MM cells. b-AP15 also induced caspase-independent apoptosis in primary human natural killer cells. b-AP15 may have potential for treatment of multiple myeloma patients.

| Biological target: | b-AP15 is a specific inhibitor of the deubiquitinating enzymes UCHL5 and Usp14. |
| In vitro activity: | Purified 19S proteasomes (5 nM) are treated with indicated concentrations of b-AP15 and DUB activity is determined by detectionof Ub-AMC cleavage. The IC50 value (2.1±0.411 μM) is determined from log concentration curves in Graph Pad Prism using non linear regression analysis. b-AP15 as a previously unidentified class of proteasome inhibitor that abrogates the deubiquitinating activity of the 19S regulatory particle. b-AP15 inhibited the activity of two 19S regulatory-particle-associated deubiquitinases, ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase 5 (UCHL5) and ubiquitin-specific peptidase 14 (USP14), resulting in accumulation of polyubiquitin. b-AP15 induced tumor cell apoptosis that is insensitive to TP53 status and overexpression of the apoptosis inhibitor BCL2.

| In vivo activity: | b-AP15 (2.5 mg/kg) inhibits tumor growth in syngenic mice models with less frequent administration schedules. We administered b-AP15 to C57BL/6J mice with Lewis lung carcinomas (LLCs) using a 2-d-on, 2-d-off schedule and to BALB/c mice with orthotopic breast carcinoma (4T1) using a 1-d-on, 3-d-off schedule. b-AP15 significantly inhibited tumor growth in both models, with T/C=0.16 (P≤0.01) for the C57BL/6J mice and T/C=0.25 (P≤0.001) for the BALB/c mice. A reduction in the number of pulmonary metastases also is observed in the group of mice with 4T1 breast carcinomas treated with b-AP15.
