TLDR
Carfilzomib as discussed by the authors is the second proteasome inhibitor approved for relapsed multiple myeloma and has been an active and versatile drug, based on its efficacy as a single agent; superiority as a doublet with dexamethasone compared with bortezomib and dexamethylamine; and as a partner in diverse three drug combinations such as with lenalidomide or daratumumab.
Abstract
Carfilzomib is the second proteasome inhibitor approved for relapsed multiple myeloma. Since its approval in 2012, carfilzomib has been an active and versatile drug, based on its efficacy as a single agent; superiority as a doublet with dexamethasone compared with bortezomib and dexamethasone; and as a partner in diverse three drug combinations such as with lenalidomide or daratumumab. While it has an established place in relapsed disease, clinicians should be aware of its cardiovascular and renal adverse event profile, which is manageable, in order to optimize outcomes. This review will provide a perspective on the current and future role of carfilzomib in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Breaking the Bottleneck in Anticancer Drug Development: Efficient Utilization of Synthetic Biology

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors summarize the anticancer natural products approved from 1950 to 2021 and discuss their molecular mechanisms, and describe the available synthetic biology tools and highlight their applications in the development of natural products.

Hypertension, smoking, and preexistence of multiple cardiac risk factors correlate with carfilzomib-induced cardiovascular adverse events in a racially diverse population

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors conducted a single center retrospective study to identify risk factors for carfilzomib-associated cardiovascular events in a diverse, single-center population and found that patients with history of hypertension had a higher risk of cardiovascular adverse events.

Patients with Very High Risk of Cardiovascular Adverse Events during Carfilzomib Therapy: Prevention and Management of Events in a Single Center Experience

TL;DR: In this paper , a novel approach with inducible ischemia imaging tests for patients at high baseline CV risk to rule out clinical conditions that could contraindicate the starting of Carfilzomib (CFZ) was proposed.

Carfilzomib, Lenalidomide, and Dexamethasone for Relapsed Multiple Myeloma

TL;DR: In patients with relapsed multiple myeloma, the addition of carfilzomib to lenalidomide and dexamethasone resulted in significantly improved progression-free survival at the interim analysis and had a favorable risk–benefit profile.

Proteasome inhibitors induce a terminal unfolded protein response in multiple myeloma cells.

TL;DR: It is found that MM cells have a lower threshold for PI-induced UPR induction and ER stress-induced apoptosis because they constitutively express ER stress survival factors to function as secretory cells.

Epoxomicin, a potent and selective proteasome inhibitor, exhibits in vivo antiinflammatory activity

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used biotinylated-epoxomicin as a molecular probe and showed that it covalently binds to the LMP7, X, MECL1, and Z catalytic subunits of the proteasome.

Potent activity of carfilzomib, a novel, irreversible inhibitor of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, against preclinical models of multiple myeloma

TL;DR: A novel, irreversible, epoxomicin-related proteasome inhibitor, carfilzomib, showed increased efficacy and was active against bortezomib-resistant MM cell lines and samples from patients with clinical bortazomib resistance, and acted synergistically with dexamethasone to enhance cell death.
