Nelfinavir (AG1341) (1-10 μM; 48 hours) inhibits the proliferation of multiple myeloma cells.
Nelfinavir inhibits 26S chymotrypsin-like proteasome activity, impairs proliferation and triggers apoptosis of the myeloma cell lines and fresh plasma cells.
Nelfinavir (1-10 μM; 17 hours) induces apoptosis of multiple myeloma cell lines.
Nelfinavir (5 μM; 0-24 hours) decreases the phosphorylation of AKT.
Nelfinavir activates the cleavage of caspase-3, decreases the phosphorylation of AKT, STAT-3, ERK1/2, and activates the pro-apoptotic pathway of the unfolded protein response system.
