Epoxomicin (BU-4061T,Aids010837) is a selective proteasome inhibitor with anti-inflammatory activity, inhibits primarily the CH-L activity of the 20S proteasome, while T-L and PGPH catalytic activities are also inhibited at 100- and 1000-fold reduced rate.

Tripterin (Celastrol) is a natural product, a proteasome inhibitor that inhibits the pancreatic rennet-like activity of the 20S proteasome (IC50=2.5 μM). Tripterin has anti-inflammatory, anti-infectious, and immunomodulatory properties.

Carfilzomib (PR-171) is a proteasome inhibitor that irreversibly binds to the chymotrypsin of the 20S proteasome. Carfilzomib has antitumor activity and may be used to treat multiple myeloma.

Marizomib is a novel irreversible brain-permeable proteasome inhibitor that inhibits CT-L (β5), CT-T-laspase-like (C-L, β1), and trypsin-like (T-L, β2) 20S proteasomes with IC50s of 3.5, 28, and 430 nM.[3]

Puromycin aminonucleoside (NSC-3056) increases podocyte permeability by modulating ZO-1 in an oxidative stress-dependent manner.

ONX-0914 (PR-957) is a potent and highly specific immunoproteasome inhibitor with minimal cross-reactivity to the constitutive proteasome.

(R)-MG-132 (Z-Leu-D-leu-leu-al) is the enantiomer of MG-132.

K-7174 dihydrochloride is a proteasome and GATA inhibitor that inhibits neuronal degeneration and induces apoptosis.

Sitagliptin (MK0431), a new oral hypoglycemic (anti-diabetic drug), is a new dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor. This enzyme-inhibiting drug is used either alone or in combination with metformin or thiazolidinedione for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The drug can competitively inhibit a protein enzyme and DPP-4, that leads to an incremental amount of active incretins (GLP-1 and GIP), the diminished amount of release of glucagon and increased release of insulin.

Talabostat mesylate (PT100) is an orally active, selective inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidases IV (DPP4, IC50: 0.18 nM), including tumor-associated fibroblast activation protein. This agent may also stimulate the production of colony stimulating factors, such as granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), resulting in the stimulation of hematopoiesis.

Linagliptin (BI 1356) is a potent, orally bioavailable dihydropurinedione-based inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4), with hypoglycemic activity.

Saikogenin A is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor.

3-O-Feruloylquinic acid is a protease inhibitor, it exerts moderate inhibitory effect against AIV (H5N1) in vitro.

1G244 is an inhibitor of DPP8 9 with antiatherosclerotic and antimyeloma properties. 1G244 had the IC50 values of 14 and 53 nM against DPP8 and DPP9, and The Ki values for 1G244 were 0.9 and 4.2 nM for DPP8 and DPP9

Ixazomib (MLN2238) , a second generation, boron-containing peptide proteasome inhibitor (PI), inhibits the chymotrypsin-like proteolytic (β5) site of the 20S proteasome (IC50 Ki: 3.4 0.93 nM, in cell-free assays), also inhibits the caspase-like (β1) and trypsin-like (β2) proteolytic sites (IC50: 31 3500 nM).

Gly-Pro-pNA hydrochloride (Gly-Pro p-nitroanilide hydrochloride) is a dipeptidyl peptidase inhibitor that inhibits dipeptidyl peptidase II, dipeptidyl peptidase IV and dipeptidyl peptidase IX.
