About The Product
Blood cancer
Bortero is an anti-cancer medicine. Bortero injection is used in the treatment of multiple myeloma and mantle-cell lymphoma. The active ingredient in Bortero is Bortezomib. Bortezomib is a dipeptide boronic acid derivative and a proteasome inhibitor. It is used in the treatment of multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma. It is a reversible inhibitor of the 26S proteasome.
Description
Bortezomib is a reversible inhibitor of the chymotrypsin-like activity of the 26S proteasome in mammalian cells. The 26S proteasome is a large protein complex that degrades ubiquitinated proteins.
The active site of the proteasome has chymotrypsin-like, trypsin-like, and post-glutamyl peptide hydrolysis activity. The 26S proteasome degrades various proteins critical to cancer cell survival, such as cyclins, tumor suppressors, BCL-2, and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors.
Inhibition of these degradations sensitizes cells to apoptosis. Bortezomib is a potent inhibitor of 26S proteasome, which sensitizes activity in dividing multiple myeloma and leukemic cells, thus inducing apoptosis.
In addition, bortezomib appears to increase the sensitivity of cancer cells to traditional anticancer agents (e.g., gemcitabine, cisplatin, paclitaxel, irinotecan, and radiation).
