Aurothioglucose
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Aurothioglucose (Gold thioglucose), containing monovalent gold ion, is a potent active-site inhibitor of TrxR1 (thioredoxin reductase 1), with an IC50 of 65 nM. Aurothioglucose inhibits the DNA binding of NF-κB in vitro. Aurothioglucose shows anti-HIV and anti-rheumatic activities.

Biological Activity
IC50: 65 nM (TrxR1)[1]
Aurothioglucose (0-100 μM, 24-72 h) inhibits TrxR1 activity in HeLa cell cytosol but has no effect on the viability of the cells[1].
Aurothioglucose (0-30 μM, 6 h) exhibits very low cytotoxicity on cells[1].
Aurothioglucose (0-20 μM, 24 h) combined with Ebselen (HY-13750) shows a strong synergistic effect, leading to Trx1 (thioredoxin 1) oxidation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, and cell death[1].
Aurothioglucose (0-100 μM, 3-12 days) inhibits p24 levels in OM10.1 and Ach2 cells, and inhibits HIV-1 replication in vitro[2].
Aurothioglucose (0-25 μM, 12 days) increases the accumulation of metal gold in a dose-dependent manner[2].

Cell Line:HeLa cells
-
Concentration:0, 5, 10, 50, 100 μM
-
Incubation Time:24, 48, 72 h
-
Result:Inhibited TrxR activity by more than 90% at 100 μM in HeLa cells. Cell viability was unaffected by ATG treatment, even at 100 μM after 72 h.
-
Cell Line:HeLa cells
-
Concentration:0, 5, 10, and 100 μM
-
Incubation Time:24 h
-
Result:Showed no significant oxidation of Trx1 or Trx2 in HeLa cells.
-
Cell Line:OM10.1, Ach2 cells
-
Concentration:0, 4, 10, 25 and 100 μM
-
Incubation Time:3, 6 or 12 days
-
Result:Significantly inhibited p24 levels. After 12 days of incubation, the viability of cells treated with 10, 25 and 100 μM Aurothioglucose had decreased to 60% of the control.
Aurothioglucose (300 mg/kg, i.p., single) induces hypothalamic obesity in mice[4].
