TrxR2-IN-1 is a thioredoxin reductase 2 (TrxR2) inhibitor with an IC50 value of 0.83 μM. TrxR2-IN-1 accumulates in mitochondria, impairs mitochondrial function and membrane potential, increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, activates ASK1-mediated caspase-dependent apoptosis (apoptosis), induces G2/M cell cycle arrest, and inhibits cancer cell migration. TrxR2-IN-1 can be used in the research of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Description

TrxR2-IN-1 is a thioredoxin reductase 2 (TrxR2) inhibitor with an IC50 value of 0.83 μM. TrxR2-IN-1 accumulates in mitochondria, impairs mitochondrial function and membrane potential, increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, activates ASK1-mediated caspase-dependent apoptosis (apoptosis), induces G2/M cell cycle arrest, and inhibits cancer cell migration. TrxR2-IN-1 can be used in the research of hepatocellular carcinoma[1].

IC50 & Target[1]

TrxR2

0.83 μM ()

In Vitro

TrxR2-IN-1 (Compound 23d) (48 h) potently inhibits the viability of A549, HCT116, HeLa, Huh7 and MDA-MB-231 cancer cells, and exhibits high selectivity toward normal HHL5 hepatocytes; its IC50 is 0.19 μM and SI is 15.24 in Huh7 cells[1].
TrxR2-IN-1 (0.8-1.6 μM; 24 h) induces dose-dependent morphological changes in Huh7 cells, which indicate inhibited cell growth and the occurrence of cell death[1].
TrxR2-IN-1 (0.8-1.6 μM; 24 h) inhibits the migration of Huh7 cells in a dose-dependent manner[1].
TrxR2-IN-1 (0.4-1.6 μM; 24 h) induces dose-dependent G2/M phase arrest in Huh7 cells[1].
Antitumor agent-215 (0.4-1.6 μM; 24 h) induces apoptosis in Huh7 cells in a dose-dependent manner[1].
Antitumor agent-215 (0.8-1.6 μM; 24 h) induces dose-dependent mitochondrial membrane potential disruption in Huh7 cells[1].
Antitumor agent-215 (0.8-1.6 μM; 24 h) dose-dependently increases the levels of total reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial superoxide in Huh7 cells[1].
TrxR2-IN-1 (1.6 μM; 24 h) accumulates in the mitochondria of Huh7 cells at a level 2.6-fold higher than that of its non-targeted precursor 4d[1].
TrxR2-IN-1 (0.4-1.6 μM; 24 h) dose-dependently activates the ASK1-mediated caspase apoptotic pathway in Huh7 cells, and upregulates the levels of phosphorylated ASK1, cleaved caspase-9 and cleaved caspase-3[1].

Cell Migration Assay[1]

Cell Line: Huh7
Concentration: 0.8 μM; 1.6 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Reduced cell migration to 77.5% of the control group at 0.8 μM.
Reduced migration to 70.5% of the control group at 1.6 μM, showing a dose-dependent inhibitory effect.

Cell Cycle Analysis[1]

Cell Line: Huh7
Concentration: 0.4 μM; 0.8 μM; 1.6 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Caused a dose-dependent accumulation of cells in the G2/M phase, increasing from 28.2% in the control group to 39.0% at 1.6 μM.
Induced corresponding decreases in G1 and S phase cell proportions.

Apoptosis Analysis[1]

Cell Line: Huh7, HHL5
Concentration: 0.4 μM; 0.8 μM; 1.6 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Induced a dose-dependent increase in apoptotic cell populations in Huh7 cells, reaching 11.9%, 22.3%, and 46.6% at 0.4, 0.8, and 1.6 μM respectively.
Caused only a slight increase in apoptotic population in HHL5 cells, from 1.0% to 3.2% at 1.6 μM, showing selective pro-apoptotic activity in cancer cells.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: Huh7
Concentration: 0.4 μM; 0.8 μM; 1.6 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Caused a dose-dependent increase in the ratio of p-ASK1/ASK1, cleaved-caspase-9/caspase-9, and cleaved-caspase-3/caspase-3, indicating activation of the ASK1-mediated caspase apoptosis cascade.
In Vivo

TrxR2-IN-1 (Compound 23d) (1.25-5 mg/kg; subcutaneous injection; every 2 days for 14 days) exhibits potent, dose-dependent antitumor activity in a Huh7 hepatocellular carcinoma xenograft model[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: BALB/cA-nude (female, 5-6 weeks old, 19−21 g, subcutaneous inoculation of Huh7 cells)[1]
Dosage: 1.25 mg/kg; 2.5 mg/kg; 5 mg/kg
Administration: subcutaneous injection; every 2 days for 14 days

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.
