kapszomidokból

Kapszomidokból is a Hungarian term referring to a category of medication. Specifically, it denotes proteasome inhibitors. These are drugs that work by blocking the action of proteasomes, which are protein complexes found in all of your cells. Proteasomes are responsible for breaking down unneeded or damaged proteins, a process vital for cellular regulation and function.

Inhibiting proteasomes disrupts this crucial cellular process. This disruption can be particularly effective against cancer cells, which often rely on proteasomes to clear out proteins that signal for cell death or to remove damaged proteins that could hinder their rapid proliferation. By blocking proteasomes, these drugs can induce the accumulation of toxic proteins within cancer cells, leading to their death.

The most well-known example of a proteasome inhibitor is bortezomib, marketed under the brand name Velcade. This drug is primarily used in the treatment of multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma. Other proteasome inhibitors are also in development or use for various hematological malignancies and other diseases where targeting protein degradation pathways shows therapeutic promise. The term "kapszomidokból" encompasses these types of medications and their therapeutic applications.
