IU1 is a drug used in scientific research which acts as a selective inhibitor of the ubiquitin-specific processing protease enzyme USP14. [1] It is of interest in anti-cancer and antiviral research and also as a potential anti-aging drug. Numerous derivatives of IU1 have been developed with up to 10x the potency of IU1 as USP14 inhibitors, [2] [3] but IU1 remains the most widely used compound in research in this area.
