The biological responses to dienone compounds with a 1,5-diaryl-3-oxo-1,4-pentadienyl pharmacophore have been studied extensively. Despite their expected general thiol reactivity, these compounds display considerable degrees of tumor cell selectivity. Here we review <i>in vitro</i> and preclinical studies of dienone compounds including b-AP15, VLX1570, RA-9, RA-190, EF24, HO-3867, and MCB-613. A common property of these compounds is their targeting of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS), known ...[more]
