Ixazomib belongs to the proteasome inhibitor class and is primarily used to treat multiple myeloma. Multiple myeloma is a malignant tumor that originates from plasma cells in the bone marrow. These abnormal cells proliferate in the bone marrow and inhibit normal hematopoietic function. They may also invade tissues outside the bone marrow, such as kidneys, bones, etc., causing a series of serious symptoms.

The mechanism of action of ixazomib is by inhibiting the activity of the proteasome, thereby interfering with the normal degradation process of intracellular proteins. Proteins are key components of cellular function, including proteins that regulate cell growth, division and death. In multiple myeloma cells, the proteasome is abnormally active, leading to the accumulation of proteins that promote cell growth and survival. By inhibiting the proteasome, ixazomib can reduce the accumulation of these abnormal proteins, thereby inducing apoptosis, the self-destruction of cells, in multiple myeloma cells.

Patients who are allergic to the active ingredient of ixazomib or any excipients should avoid taking this drug. Before using ixazomib, doctors will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the patient, including allergy history, medication history, and current health status, to ensure the safe use of the drug.
