TrxR1-IN-5
TrxR1-IN-5 is a thioredoxin reductase 1 (TrxR1) inhibitor. TrxR1-IN-5 covalently and irreversibly inhibits the Sec498 residue in the active site of TrxR1 through a Michael addition reaction, blocking its antioxidant function, thereby inducing intracellular ROS accumulation, mitochondrial membrane potential depolarization, and activation of Bax/Bcl-2-mediated mitochondrial apoptosis. TrxR1-IN-5 can be used for research on non-small cell lung cancer.

In Vitro
TrxR1-IN-5 (2.5-5 µM; 24 h) dose-dependently inhibits intracellular TrxR1 enzyme activity and downregulates TrxR1 protein expression in A549 cells, and its direct target-binding activity is confirmed by CETSA assay[1].

Concentration:2.5, 5 μM
-
Incubation Time:24 h
-
Result:Caused a dose-dependent inhibition of intracellular TrxR1 activity, accompanied by the downregulation of TrxR1 protein expression levels.
Downregulated the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 while upregulating the expression of pro-apoptotic protein Bax.

-
Animal Model:Zebrafish embryos at 2 days post-fertilization (2 dpf) were selected, and human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells fluorescently labeled with CM-DiI membrane probe were microinjected into the yolk sac of each zebrafish[1]
-
Dosage:3.9 μM, 7.8 μM, 15.6 μM
-
Administration:administered in culture medium; single administration; 48 h
-
Result:Resulted in a marked and dose-dependent reduction in tumor fluorescence intensity.
Significantly inhibited tumor growth in zebrafish at all tested concentrations, validating its potent anti-tumor efficacy in vivo.
