Piperlongumine and some of its analogs inhibit selectively the human immunoproteasome over the constitutive proteasome

Resumo

The natural small molecule piperlongumine A is toxic selectively to cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. This toxicity has been correlated with cancer cell ROS, DNA damage and apoptotic cell death increases. We demonstrate here a new mechanistic property of piperlongumine: it inhibits selectively human immunoproteasome with no noticeable inhibition of human constitutive proteasome. This result suggests that immunoproteasome inhibition, a mechanism independent of ROS elevation, may also partly play a role in the anticancer effects observed with piperlongumine. Structure-activity relationships of piperlongumine analogs suggest that the lactam (piperidonic) ring of piperlongumine A may be replaced by the linear olefin –NHCO-CH2=CH2 to improve both in vitro inhibitory efficiency against immunoproteasome and cellular toxicity.
