Epoxomicin is a naturally occurring selective proteasome inhibitor with anti-inflammatory activity. [2] It was originally discovered in 1992. [3] Injected, it can induce Parkinson's-like symptoms in rats.

Derivatives of epoxomicin include carfilzomib.

COX-3 is an enzyme that is encoded by the PTGS1 (COX1) gene, but is not functional in humans. COX-3 is the third and most recently discovered cyclooxygenase (COX) isozyme, the others being COX-1 and COX-2. The COX-3 isozyme is encoded by the same gene as COX-1, with the difference that COX-3 retains an intron that is not retained in COX-1.
