MG132 (carbobenzoxy-Leu-Leu-leucinal) as a peptide aldehyde effectively blocks the proteolytic activity of proteasome complex.9 Proteasome inhibitors including MG132 have been shown to induce apoptotic cell death through formation of ROS. ROS formation and GSH depletion due to proteasome inhibitors may cause mitochondrial dysfunction and subsequent cytochrome c release, which leads to cell viability loss1, 2.
MG132 dose dependently inhibited the growth of A549 cells with an IC50 of approximately 20 µM. MG132 also reduced the growth of human cervical HeLa cancer cells with an IC50 of approximately 5 µM. Treatment with 0.5 µM MG132 significantly decreased the growth of HeLa cells and induced cell death as well. Cell growth inhibition by MG132 depends on incubation doses of that and cell types3.
MG132 significantly induced a G1 phase arrest of the cell cycle. It inhibits the growth of HT-29 colon cancer cells via inducing G2/M cell cycle arrest4, causes MG-63 osteosarcoma cell arrest at G2/M phase5, prolongs the duration of G0/G1 arrest in MnCl2-treated A549 cells and induces a G1 arrest in gastric carcinoma cells6. Deregulation of the ubiquitin-proteasomal system by MG132 can result in different cell cycle phase arrests depending on various cancer cell lines.
Proteasome inhibitors including MG132 have been shown to induce apoptotic cell death through formation of ROS1, 2, 7. MG132 inhibited the growth of human A549 cells via inducing the cell cycle arrest as well as triggering apoptosis, which was in part correlated with the changes of ROS and GSH levels.

Inhibitory activities of MG-132 towards proteasome complex 9
MG-132 acts as a peptide aldehyde effectively blocks the proteolytic activity of proteasome complex 9. Proteasome inhibitors including MG-132 have been shown to induce apoptotic cell death through formation of ROS. ROS formation and GSH depletion due to proteasome inhibitors may cause mitochondrial dysfunction and subsequent cytochrome C release, which leads to cell viability loss [ 1, 2].

Applications
MG-132 is a membrane-permeable proteasome inhibitor. It is used to Induce neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells at 10 μM. MG132 dose dependently inhibited the growth of A549 cells with an IC50 of approximately 20 µM. MG-132 also reduced the growth of human cervical HeLa cancer cells with an IC50 of approximately 5 µM. Treatment with 0.5 µM MG-132 significantly decreased the growth of HeLa cells and induced cell death as well [3]. MG-132 inhibits the growth of HT-29 colon cancer cells via inducing G2/M cell cycle arrest [4], causes MG-63 osteosarcoma cell arrest at G2/M phase [5], prolongs the duration of G0/G1 arrest in MnCl2-treated A549 cells and induces a G1 arrest in gastric carcinoma cells [6].
Animal models
C57BL mice
Dosage form
~10 ug/kg/day, injection from tail vein or belly
Powder dissolved in DMSO to prepare stock solution with 10 mg/ml, and working solution is diluted by PBS or Saline. pH equals to 7.
Other notes
Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal.
