Description

TrxR-IN-4 is a thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) inhibitor with a rat IC50 of 0.37 μM. TrxR-IN-4 inhibits TrxR activity, elevates reactive oxygen species (ROS) and induces apoptosis. TrxR-IN-4 mediates endoplasmic reticulum stress and induces mitochondrial dysfunction. TrxR-IN-4 can be used for the research of hepatocellular carcinoma[1].

In Vitro

TrxR-IN-4 (Compound 1b) (0.125-2 μM) potently inhibits purified rat liver TrxR with an IC50 of 0.37 μM[1].
TrxR-IN-4 (72 h) potently inhibits the proliferation of HepG2, SMMC-7721, and Hep3B human hepatocellular carcinoma cells with IC50 values of 5.40 μM, 10.05 μM, and 10.89 μM respectively, shows lower potency against MCF-7 and HT-29 cancer cells, and exhibits selective toxicity toward tumor cells over normal LO2 liver cells[1].
TrxR-IN-4 (0.5-10 μM; 24 h) inhibits intracellular TrxR activity in HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cells with an IC50 of 6.51 μM, and dose-dependently reduces TrxR mRNA and protein expression[1].
TrxR-IN-4 (2.5-10 μM; 24-72 h) induces G2/M phase cell cycle arrest in HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cells after 72 h of treatment, and reduces the expression of Cyclin A and CDK2 proteins at 10 μM after 24 h of treatment[1].
TrxR-IN-4 (2.5-10 μM; 24-72 h) dose-dependently induces apoptosis in HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cells after 72 h of treatment, and upregulates pro-apoptotic proteins AIF, cytochrome c, and cleaved-PARP/PARP after 24 h of treatment[1].
TrxR-IN-4 (2.5-10 μM; 24 h) dose-dependently elevates reactive oxygen species levels, increases ROS-endoplasmic reticulum colocalization, and activates endoplasmic reticulum stress via upregulation of CHOP and Calnexin in HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cells[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
