Abstract: The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) plays an important role in maintaining protein homeostasis by degrading intracellular proteins. In the proteasome, poly-ubiquitinated proteins are deubiquitinated by three deubiquitinases (DUBs) associated with 19S regulatory particle before degradation via 20S core particle. Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase L5 (UCHL5) is one of three proteasome-associated DUBs that control the fate of ubiquitinated substrates implicated in cancer survival and progression. In this study, we have performed virtual screening of an FDA approved drug library with UCHL5 and discovered tiaprofenic acid (TA) as a potential binder. With molecular docking analysis and in-vitro DUB assay, we have designed, synthesized, and evaluated a series of TA derivatives for inhibition of UCHL5 activity. We demonstrate that one TA derivative, TAB2, acts as an inhibitor of UCHL5.
