Nitrovin hydrochloride
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Nitrovin (Difurazon) hydrochloride is an orally active inhibitor of thioredoxin reductase 1 (TrxR1) with both antibacterial and anticancer activities. Nitrovin hydrochloride induces ROS generation and endoplasmic reticulum stress by targeting and inhibiting TrxR1, which in turn induces cytoplasmic vacuolation, activates MAPK, and inhibits Alix. Nitrovin hydrochloride induces paraptosis-like non-apoptotic cell death, thereby exerting significant cytotoxicity against cancer cells. Nitrovin hydrochloride is used for research on glioblastoma, liver cancer, and bacterial infections.

In Vitro
Nitrovin (Difurazon) (1.25-10 µM; 24 h) hydrochloride inhibits cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner and exhibits significant cytotoxicity in 16 human tumor cell lines and 2 normal cell lines[1].
Nitrovin (1.25-10 µM; 24 h) hydrochloride decreases cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner, depletes intracellular ATP levels, and induces extensive characteristic cytoplasmic vacuolation in human glioblastoma U251 and U87 cells[1].
Nitrovin (0.625-5 µM; 24 h) hydrochloride downregulates the expression of the paraptosis-specific inhibitory protein Alix in a concentration-dependent manner in human glioblastoma U251 and U87 cells[1].
Nitrovin (1.25-5 µM; 4 h) hydrochloride concentration-dependently inhibits the catalytic activity of intracellular TrxR1 in human glioblastoma U251 and U87 cells[1].
Nitrovin (0.625-5 µM; 24 h) hydrochloride does not cause significant changes in Caspase-3 activity, does not induce cleavage activation of Caspase-3 and Caspase-7, does not cause typical apoptotic nuclear morphological changes such as nuclear condensation and nuclear fragmentation, and only induces a very low proportion of cells to be positive for Annexin V/7AAD apoptosis staining in human glioblastoma U251 cells[1].
Nitrovin (1.25-5 µM; 4 h) hydrochloride concentration-dependently induces significant accumulation of total intracellular ROS and a significant increase in mitochondrial superoxide levels in human glioblastoma U251 and U87 cells[1].
Nitrovin (5 µM; 2-24 h) hydrochloride induces cytoplasmic vacuolation and ROS generation and inhibits cell viability in human glioblastoma U251 cells transfected with control vector or overexpressing Alix, and Alix overexpression fails to reverse this cell death and does not alter ROS production levels[1].
Nitrovin (24 h) hydrochloride activates ARE/Nrf2 reporter gene transcription in human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells in a bell-shaped curve, activating ARE-bla signaling at low doses and causing cytotoxicity at high doses[5].
Nitrovin (5 µM; 24 h) hydrochloride induces significant large vacuole formation derived from endoplasmic reticulum swelling in human glioblastoma U251 and U87 cells[1].
Nitrovin (5 µM; 0.5-8 h) hydrochloride time-dependently upregulates the expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress marker proteins BiP, p-eIF2α, ATF4, and CHOP and rapidly induces ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK phosphorylation activation, followed by slightly later induction of JNK1/2 phosphorylation in human glioblastoma U251 cells[1].
Nitrovin (5 µM; 24 h) hydrochloride induces cytoplasmic vacuolation and death and induces ROS generation in human glioblastoma U251 cells transfected with control plasmid or overexpressing TrxR1; TrxR1 overexpression significantly inhibits vacuole accumulation and reverses cell death and significantly inhibits ROS generation[1].
Nitrovin (1-100 μg/mL; 2 days) hydrochloride inhibits most chicken cecal anaerobes at 100 μg/mL, whereas B. hypermegas (2 of 3 strains), Coprococcus sp. NE1/97, and Budding bacteria NE3/209 remain resistant[2].
Nitrovin (1 μg/dish; 12 h) hydrochloride induces significant frameshift mutations, base substitution mutations, and DNA cross-linking damage in Salmonella typhimurium TA97, TA100, and TA102, and triggers the formation of numerous His+ revertant colonies[6].
Nitrovin (0.625-5 µM; 0.5-24 h) hydrochloride does not alter the total expression level of TrxR1 protein in human glioblastoma U251 cells[1].

In Vivo
Nitrovin (10 mg/kg; p.o.; free access; continuous administration) hydrochloride eliminates Gram-negative non-spore-forming anaerobes that constitute a major component of the cecal microbiota, while maintaining sufficient VFA concentrations and low pH to inhibit Salmonella typhimurium proliferation[2].
Nitrovin (10 mg/kg; p.o.; free access; continuous administration) hydrochloride significantly promotes the growth and development of neonatal healthy male Warren chicks in a 1-day-old rearing model, accompanied by a moderate increase in feed consumption and improved feed conversion ratio[4].
