Epoxomicin (BU-4061T) is an epoxyketone-containing natural product and a potent, selective and irreversible proteasome inhibitor. Epoxomicin covalently binds to the LMP7, X, MECL1, and Z catalytic subunits of the proteasome and potently inhibits primarily the chymotrypsin-like activity. Epoxomicin can cross the blood-brain barrier. Epoxomicin has strongly antitumor and anti-inflammatory activity.

Isoginkgetin is a pre-mRNA splicing inhibitor inhibitor. Isoginkgetin also inhibits activities of both Akt, NF-κB and MMP-9. Isoginkgetin inhibits the activity of the 20S proteasome, induces apoptosis and activates autophagy.

MDL-28170 (Calpain Inhibitor III) is a potent, selective and membrane-permeable cysteine protease inhibitor of calpain that rapidly penetrates the blood-brain barrier following systemic administration. MDL-28170 also block γ-secretase.

ONX-0914 (PR-957) is a selective inhibitor of low-molecular mass polypeptide-7 (LMP7), the chymotrypsin-like subunit of the immunoproteasome. ONX-0914 blocks cytokine production and attenuates progression of experimental arthritis. ONX-0914 is a noncompetitive irreversible inhibitor of the mycobacterial proteasome (K_i=5.2 μM). ONX-0914 reactivates latent HIV-1 through p-TEFb activation mediated by HSF-1.

PD 150606 is a selective, cell-permeable non-peptide calpain inhibitor with K_i values of 0.21 μM and 0.37 μM for μ- and m-calpains respectively, which is neuroprotective.

Lactacystin is a potent, orally active, irreversible, cell-permeable, selective 20S proteasome inhibitor (IC₅₀ = 4.8 μM). Lactacystin also inhibits the lysosomal enzyme cathepsin A. Lactacystin inhibits cell growth and induces apoptosisand cell cycle arrest, and has antiviral and antioxidative activity. Lactacystin induces neurite outgrowth and hypertension. Lactacystin has the potential for the research of cancer, Neurological Disease, hypertension and Malaria, and so on^{[2] [6]} .

Marizomib (Salinosporamide A) is a second-generation, irreversible, brain-penetrant, pan-proteasome inhibitor. Marizomib inhibits the CT-L (β5), CT-T-laspase-like (C-L, β1) and trypsin-like (T-L, β2) activities of the 20S proteasome (IC₅₀=3.5, 28, and 430 nM, respectively).

MG-101 (ALLN) is an inhibitor of cysteine proteases which inhibits calpain I, calpain II, cathepsin B and cathepsin L with K_is of 190, 220, 150 and 500 pM, respectively. MG-101 induces apoptosis and inhibits tumor growth, it can be used for the research of colon cancer.
