Bortezomib mainly causes sensory peripheral neuropathy, but severe motor peripheral neuropathy also has been reported. In the phase III trial, peripheral neuropathy occurred in 36% of patients receiving bortezomib and 9% of patients receiving dexamethasone. Grade 3 or 4 peripheral neuropathy occurred in 7 or less than 1%, respectively, of patients receiving bortezomib. Following dosage adjustments, amelioration or resolution of peripheral neuropathy was reported in 51% of patients with grade 2 or higher peripheral neuropathy within a median of 3.5 months from onset. About 8% of patients discontinued bortezomib therapy because of peripheral neuropathy.
American Society of Health System Pharmacists. AHFS Drug Information 2008. Bethesda, Maryland 2008, p. 929
Patients receiving bortezomib should be monitored for manifestations of neuropathy (eg, burning sensation, hyperesthesia, hypoesthesia, paresthesia, discomfort, neuropathic pain). Dose and/or frequency of administration of bortezomib should be adjusted in patients who experience new-onset or exacerbation of peripheral neuropathy.

Treatment of mantle cell lymphoma
Bortezomib works to target the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, an essential molecular pathway that regulates intracellular concentrations of proteins and promotes protein degradation. The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is often dysregulated in pathological conditions, leading to aberrant pathway signalling and the formation of malignant cells. In one study, patient-derived chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells contained 3-fold higher levels of chymotrypsin-like proteasome activity than normal lymphocytes. By reversibly inhibiting proteasome, bortezomib prevents proteasome-mediated proteolysis. Bortezomib exerts a cytotoxic effect on various cancer cell types _in vitro_ and delays tumour growth _in vivo_ in nonclinical tumour models. Bortezomib inhibits the proteasome activity in a dose-dependent manner. In one pharmacodynamic study, more than 75% of proteasome inhibition was observed in whole blood samples within one hour after dosing of bortezomib.

Absorption
Following intravenous administration of 1 mg/m2 and 1.3 mg/m2 doses, the mean Cmax of bortezomib were 57 and 112 ng/mL, respectively. In a twice-weekly dosing regimen, the Cmax ranged from 67 to 106 ng/mL at the dose of 1 mg/m2 and 89 to 120 ng/mL for the 1.3 mg/m2 dose. In patients with multiple myeloma, the Cmax of bortezomib followig subcutaneous administration was lower than that of intravenously-administered dose; however, the total systemic exposure of the drug was equivalent for both routes of administration. There is a wide interpatient variability in drug plasma concentrations.
Route of Elimination
Bortezomib is eliminated by both renal and hepatic routes.
Volume of Distribution
The mean distribution volume of bortezomib ranged from approximately 498 to 1884 L/m2 in patients with multiple myeloma receiving a single- or repeat-dose of 1 mg/m2 or 1.3 mg/m2. Bortezomib distributes into nearly all tissues, except for the adipose and brain tissue.
Clearance
Following the administration of a first dose of 1 mg/m2 and 1.3 mg/m2, the mean mean total body clearances were 102 and 112 L/h, respectively. The clearances were 15 and 32 L/h after the subsequent dose of 1 and 1.3 mg/m2, respectively.
Following intravenous administration of 1 mg/sq m and 1.3 mg/sq m doses to 24 patients with multiple myeloma (n=12, per each dose level), the mean maximum plasma concentrations of bortezomib (Cmax) after the first dose (Day 1) were 57 and 112 ng/mL, respectively.

In subsequent doses, when administered twice weekly, the mean maximum observed plasma concentrations ranged from 67 to 106 ng/mL for the 1 mg/sq m dose and 89 to 120 ng/mL for the 1.3 mg/sq m dose. The mean elimination half-life of bortezomib upon multiple dosing ranged from 40 to 193 hours after the 1 mg/sq m dose and 76 to 108 hours after the 1.3 mg/sq m dose. The mean total body clearances was 102 and 112 L/hr following the first dose for doses of 1 mg/sq m and 1.3 mg/sq m, respectively, and ranged from 15 to 32 L/hr following subsequent doses for doses of 1 and 1.3 mg/sq m, respectively.

Bortezomib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4, CYP2C19, and CYP1A2. CYP2D6 and CYP2C9 are also involved in drug metabolism, but to a smaller extent. Oxidative deboronation, which involves the removal of boronic acid from the parent compound, is the main metabolic pathway. Metabolites of bortezomib are pharmacologically inactive and more than 30 metabolites have been identified in human and animal studies.
In vitro studies with human liver microsomes and human cDNA-expressed cytochrome P450 isozymes indicate that bortezomib is primarily oxidatively metabolized via cytochrome P450 enzymes 3A4, 2C19, and 1A2. Bortezomib metabolism by CYP 2D6 and 2C9 enzymes is minor. The major metabolic pathway is deboronation to form 2 deboronated metabolites that subsequently undergo hydroxylation to several metabolites. Deboronated bortezomib metabolites are inactive as 26S proteasome inhibitors. Pooled plasma data from 8 patients at 10 min and 30 min after dosing indicate that the plasma levels of metabolites are low compared to the parent drug.

... The P450 inhibition potential of bortezomib and its major deboronated metabolites M1 and M2 and their dealkylated metabolites M3 and M4 was evaluated in human liver microsomes for the major P450 isoforms 1A2, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, and 3A4/5. Bortezomib, M1, and M2 were found to be mild inhibitors of CYP2C19 (IC(50) approximately 18.0, 10.0, and 13.2 microM, respectively), and M1 was also a mild inhibitor of CYP2C9 (IC(50) approximately 11.5 microM). However, bortezomib, M1, M2, M3, and M4 did not inhibit other P450s (IC(50) values > 30 microM). There also was no time-dependent inhibition of CYP3A4/5 by bortezomib or its major metabolites. ...

... Bortezomib binds the proteasome via the boronic acid moiety, and therefore, the presence of this moiety is necessary to achieve proteasome inhibition. Metabolites in plasma obtained from patients receiving a single intravenous dose of bortezomib were identified and characterized by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) and liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). Metabolite standards that were synthesized and characterized by LC/MS/MS and high field nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) were used to confirm metabolite structures. The principal biotransformation pathway observed was oxidative deboronation, most notably to a pair of diastereomeric carbinolamide metabolites. Further metabolism of the leucine and phenylalanine moieties produced tertiary hydroxylated metabolites and a metabolite hydroxylated at the benzylic position, respectively. Conversion of the carbinolamides to the corresponding amide and carboxylic acid was also observed. Human liver microsomes adequately modeled the in vivo metabolism of bortezomib, as the principal circulating metabolites were observed in vitro. Using cDNA-expressed cytochrome P450 isoenzymes, it was determined that several isoforms contributed to the metabolism of bortezomib, including CYP3A4, CYP2C19, CYP1A2, CYP2D6, and CYP2C9. ...

The mean elimination half-life of bortezomib ranged from 40 to 193 hours following a multiple dosing regimen at a 1 mg/m2 dose. The half-life ranged from 76 to 108 hours after multiple dosing of 1.3 mg/m2 bortezomib.
The mean elimination half-life of bortezomib upon multiple dosing ranged from 40 to 193 hours after the 1 mg/sq m dose and 76 to 108 hours after the 1.3 mg/sq m dose.

The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is a homeostatic proteolytic pathway for intracellular protein degradation: proteins marked with a poly-ubiquitin chain are degraded to small peptides and free ubiquitin by the proteasome, which is a large multimeric protease. Aberrant proteasome-dependent proteolysis, as seen in some malignancies, can lead to uncontrolled cell division, leading to tumorigenesis, cancer growth, and spread. Bortezomib is a reversible inhibitor of the 26S proteasome, which is made up of a 20S core complexed with a 19S regulatory complex. Individual -subunits allow specific catalytic action of the 20S core. In mammalian cells, bortezomib is a potent inhibitor of the proteasomes chymotryptic-like activity, which is attributed to the 5-subunit of the 20S core particle. Bortezomib binds to the active site of the threonine hydroxyl group in the 5-subunit. A probing study showed bortezomib also binding to and inhibiting the 1-subunit, which mediates the caspase-like activity of the proteasome, and 1i-subunit, which is an altered subunit that is expressed to form immunoproteasomes in response to cell stress or inflammation. By inhibiting the proteasome-mediated degradation of key proteins that promote cell apoptosis, bortezomib induces a cell cycle arrest during the G2-M phase. It is believed that multiple mechanisms, other than proteasome inhibition, may be involved in the anticancer activity of bortezomib. The anticancer activity of bortezomib was largely associated with suppression of the NF-B signalling pathway, resulting in the downregulation of anti-apoptotic target genes and expression of anti-apoptic proteins. This may be explained by bortezomib preventing uncontrolled degradation of IB, which is an inhibitory protein of NF-B. NOXA, which is a pro-apoptotic factor, induced by bortezomib selectively in cancer cells; thus, it is suggested to be another key mechanism of bortezomib.
Bortezomib, a modified dipeptidyl boronic acid, is an antineoplastic agent. The drug reversibly inhibits the 26S proteasome, a large protein complex that degrades ubiquitinated proteins. The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway plays an essential role in regulating the intracellular concentration of specific proteins, thereby maintaining homeostasis within cells. Inhibition of the 26S proteasome by bortezomib prevents targeted proteolysis and causes disruption of normal homeostatic mechanisms, which can lead to cell death. In vitro studies indicate that bortezomib is cytotoxic to a variety of cancer cell types. Bortezomib has been shown to cause a delay in tumor growth in vivo in tumor models, including multiple myeloma.

... The mechanisms underlying /bortezomib/ cancer cell toxicity are complex. A growing body of evidence suggests proteasome inhibition-dependent regulation of the BCL-2 family is a critical requirement. In particular, the stabilization of BH3-only proteins BIK, NOXA and BIM, appear to be essential for effecting BAX- and BAK-dependent cell death. ...

Proteasome inhibition is a novel, targeted approach in cancer therapy. Both natural and synthetic proteasome inhibitors selectively penetrate cancer cells, disrupting the orderly destruction of key regulatory proteins involved in tumorigenesis and metastasis. Disrupting the orderly destruction of regulatory proteins causes an imbalance of these proteins within the cell, which interferes with the systematic activation of signaling pathways required to maintain tumor cell growth and survival; therefore, cellular replication is inhibited and apoptosis ensues. ...

Bortezomib (PS-341, Velcade) is a potent and selective inhibitor of the proteasome that is currently under investigation for the treatment of solid malignancies. /Investigators/ have shown previously that bortezomib has activity in pancreatic cancer models and that the drug induces endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress but also suppresses the unfolded protein response (UPR). Because the UPR is an important cytoprotective mechanism, /investigators/ hypothesized that bortezomib would sensitize pancreatic cancer cells to ER stress-mediated apoptosis. Here, /the authors/ show that bortezomib promotes apoptosis triggered by classic ER stress inducers (tunicamycin and thapsigargin) via a c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK)-dependent mechanism. /They/ also show that cisplatin stimulates ER stress and interacts with bortezomib to increase ER dilation, intracellular Ca(2+) levels, and cell death. Importantly, combined therapy with bortezomib plus cisplatin induced JNK activation and apoptosis in orthotopic pancreatic tumors resulting in a reduction in tumor burden. Taken together, the data establish that bortezomib sensitizes pancreatic cancer cells to ER stress-induced apoptosis and show that bortezomib strongly enhances the anticancer activity of cisplatin.
