TrxR-IN-3
TrxR-IN-3 is a thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.12 µM in MDA-MB-231 cells. TrxR-IN-3 inhibits TrxR enzyme activity and suppresses TrxR protein expression. TrxR-IN-3 induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, apoptosis, and autophagy. TrxR-IN-3 modulates apoptosis-related proteins by decreasing anti-apoptotic protein levels and increasing caspase cleavage. TrxR-IN-3 modulates autophagy-related proteins by increasing autophagy markers and reducing autophagy substrate proteins. TrxR-IN-3 can be used for breast cancer research.
