TrxR

Thioredoxin Reductase

TrxR (Thioredoxin Reductase) is a selenium-containing pyridine nucleotide-disulphide oxidoreductase. There are three isoforms of mammalian TrxRs: TrxR1 (TXRND1), TrxR2 (TXNRD2) and TrxR3 (TGR). TrxRs catalyze the NADPH-dependent reduction of the redox protein thioredoxin (Trx). TrxR is important in regulating the intracellular redox environment, cell growth and transformation, as well as the recycling of ascorbate from its oxidized form. Trx/TrxR system is associated with the cancers, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes, as well as in hypertension and atherosclerosis[1][2].

    Ethaselen (BBSKE) is an orally active, selective thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) inhibitor with IC50s of 0.5 and 0.35 μM for the wild-type human TrxR1 and rat TrxR1, respectively. Ethaselen specifically binds to the unique selenocysteine-cysteine redox pair in the C-terminal active site of mammalian TrxR1. Ethaselen, an organoselenium compound, is a potent antitumor candidate that exerts potent inhibition on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by targeting TrxR.
