Pharmacology
Carfilzomib is a tetrapeptide epoxyketone proteasome inhibitor that irreversibly binds to the N-terminal threonine-containing active sites of the 20S proteasome within the 26S proteasome, producing antiproliferative and proapoptotic effects in hematologic and solid tumor cells.
Lenalidomide is an immunomodulatory agent that mediates cellular activities through binding to cereblon, a component of a cullin ring E3 ubiquitin ligase enzyme complex, leading to degradation of substrate proteins and resulting in direct cytotoxic and immunomodulatory effects.
