In eukaryotes, proteasomes play a critical role in the degradation of most intracellular proteins. Degradation by ubiquitin-proteasome pathway controls many fundamental cellular functions. These include cell differentiation, cell-cycle regulation, signal transduction pathways, antigen processing in immune responses, stress signaling, inflammatory responses, and apoptosis. The first step in the pathway is activation of ubiquitin-activating enzyme (E1), followed by ubiquitin transfer to an ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2). The second step is transfer of ubiquitin from E2 to the substrate by ubiquitin ligase (E3). The polyubiquitinated protein is then degraded by a 26S proteasome. The 26S proteasome comprises of a 20S proteasome cylinder capped by a regulatory 19S complex at each extremity. The 20S proteasome has three major proteolytic activities : caspase-like (b1), trypsin-like (b2), and chymotrypsin-like (b5). The 19S complex (PA700) activates proteasome degradation of ubiquitin-conjugated proteins. In addition to PA700, 20S proteasome can separately interact with other regulatory complexes such as PA28 or PA200. Both complexes can activate the 20S proteasome using peptide substrates. Many natural and synthetic inhibitors of the proteasome have been developed, such as peptide aldehydes, peptide epoxyketones, peptide vinyl sulfones, lactacystins, and peptide boronates. The peptide boronate PS-341 (bortezomib), an inhibitor of the chymotrypsin-like activity of 20S proteasome, has been approved for the treatment of multiple myeloma. Small-molecule proteasome activators have been developed to a lesser extent. Several biological lipids, including sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), fatty acids, ceramide sulfates, lysophosphatidylinositol, and cardiolipin have been observed to activate the 20S proteasome. In general, proteasomal degradation of synthetic substrates by these molecules is more variable but not remarkable. Dramatic activation of proteasome by peptide-based activators has been investigated. Recently, betulinic acid (BA) has attracted attention for its anti-HIV-1 and antitumor activities. BA and its dimethylsuccinyl derivative (DSB) were found to be preferential activators of the b5 and b1 activities of the 20S proteasome, respectively. Carboranes (dicarba-closo-dodecaboranes; C2B10H12) exhibit remarkable thermal stability, and their icosahedral geometry and exceptional hydrophobic property may allow their use as a hydrophobic pharmacophore in biologically active molecules that interact hydrophobically with target proteins. In this study, we discovered that ortho-carborane derivatives have the potential to induce the b1, b2, and b5 activities of the 20S proteasome in the absence of PA28. The synthesis of ortho-carboranyl phenol and its ester derivatives is shown in Scheme 1. Benzylation was performed by treating 4-iodophenol (1) with benzyl bromide in the presence of K2CO3. The resulting benzyl ether 2 underwent the Sonogashira coupling reaction with ethynyltrimethylsilane in the presence of catalysts, PdCl2(PPh3)2 and CuI. The reaction was performed in a sealed vial under microwave-irradiated (120 8C). The reaction reached completion within 25 min to give the corresponding coupling product in 98 % yield. The TMS group was removed by treatment with LiOH in aqueous THF solution to afford alkyne 3 in quantitative yield. The reaction of alkyne 3 with decaborane proceeded in the presence of acetonitrile (5 equiv) in toluene at reflux to give the corresponding carborane 4 in 25 % yield. The benzyl group was removed by hydro-
