Bioactivity | TrxR inhibitor D9 is a potent and selective inhibitor of thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), with an EC50 of 2.8 nM. TrxR inhibitor D9 has the capability to inhibit tumor proliferation both in vitro and in vivo[1][2]. |
Target | EC50: 2.8 nM (TrxR) |
Invitro | TrxR inhibitor D9 (0.1-1 μM; 72 h) inhibits the cell proliferation with IC50s of 0.03 and 0.1 μM for MCF-7 and HT-29 cells, respectively[1].TrxR inhibitor D9 (72 h) completely inhibits all cancer cells (A549, KB, MDA MB-231, HeLa, MCF-7 and HT-29) viability at the concentration of 0.60 μM, and the IC50s of all cancer cells could be as low as 0.55 μM, and dose not significantly affects normal cells viability[1].TrxR inhibitor D9 (0.8 μM; 4 and 8 h) induces HT-29 cells necrosis/apoptosis[1].TrxR inhibitor D9 (2-20 nM; 1-60 s) inhibits TrxR activity in a concentration-dependent manner[1].TrxR inhibitor D9 (1-1000 nM) does not significantly inhibits the catalytic activity of glutathione reductase (GR) even when the concentration increases to more than 1000 nM[1].TrxR inhibitor D9 (0.4 μM) could effectively avoid the ligand exchange with albumin[1].
