Synthetic organic
Comment: VLX1570 is a competitive, reversible inhibitor of 19S proteasome-specific deubiquitylating enzymes, including ubiquitin-specific protease-14 (USP14) and ubiquitin-C-terminal hydrolase-5 (UCHL5) [1-2]; being investigated for antineoplastic/antiproliferative efficacy.
![]() Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |

Summary of Clinical Use ![]() |
VLX1570 is being evaluated for safety and antineoplastic efficacy in Phase 1/2 clinical trial in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (see NCT02372240). |
Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects ![]() |
USP14 is the preferential target of VLX1570 inhibition [1]. Exposure to VLX1570 leads to an accumulation of poly-ubiquitylated proteins, which promotes tumour cell apoptosis and inhibits tumour cell proliferation via induction of the unfolded protein response (UPR). |
