How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (BORTEZOMIB). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

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.

Half-life40–193 h
Mostly cleared after≈ 3 weeksfive half-lives — our arithmetic
How the body breaks it down

Bortezomib is primarily oxidatively metabolized to several inactive metabolites in vitro via cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes 3A4, CYP2C19, and CYP1A2, and to a lesser extent by CYP2D6 and CYP2C9.
