The alcohol abuse drug disulfiram has also been shown to exhibit potent cell growth inhibitory and anticancer activity. While a number of cellular and animal studies have suggested that disulfiram exhibits its anticancer activity through interaction with the proteasome, direct evidence for inhibition of proteasome activity is lacking. In this study we show that disulfiram potently inhibits the chymotrypsin-like activity of purified human 20S proteasome at low micromolar pharmacological concentrations. The enzyme progress curves displayed characteristics of a slow-binding reaction, similar to that observed for the FDA-approved proteasomal-targeted anticancer drugs bortezomib and carfilzomib. The apparent second order rate constant for reaction with 20s proteasome that was derived from an analysis of the progress curves was about 250-fold smaller than for bortezomib and carfilzomib. The concentration dependence of the enzyme kinetics was consistent with partial noncompetitive inhibition, whereby the putative disulfiram-proteasome adduct retains, partial but decreased enzyme activity. Disulfiram, which is known to have a high affinity for protein thiols, likely reacted with a non-critical cysteine residue, and not at the proteasome substrate binding site. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc.
