What does it do?

Ixazomib citrate belongs to a class of anticancer agents that inhibit proteasomes. It is primarily used to treat hematologic cancers such as multiple myeloma and is intended to disrupt the growth and survival of cancer cells.

Ixazomib citrate blocks the activity of proteasomes within cancer cells, preventing unnecessary proteins from being broken down. As a result, proteins accumulate within the cancer cells, leading to cellular dysfunction and ultimately the death of the cancer cells.
