Abstract

A series of novel non-peptide boronic acid derivatives were designed and synthesized via rational drug design principles. All target compounds were screened for the proteasome inhibitory activities in vitro. Selected compounds (6a and 7j) were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities in vitro. Among these tested compounds, two (6a, 7j) displayed better proteasome inhibitory activities than that of the lead compound PI-083, and compound 6a ...
