| Description | Ethaselen (BBSKE) is an orally active, selective thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) inhibitor with IC 50 s 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 Ethaselen (BBSKE) is an orally active, selective thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) inhibitor with IC 50 s 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 TrxRIn VitroEthaselen (2.5-10 µM; 12, 24 hours) suppresses A549 cell viability in a both concentration- and time-dependent manner. H1666, which has considerably lower TrxR1 expression level, is less susceptible to 24 h treatment with Ethaselen. Ethaselen inhibits the intracellular TrxR1 activity in a concentration- and time-dependent manner, with IC 50 values of 4.2 and 2 µM for 12- and 24-h treatments, respectively. Ethaselen (2.5-10 µM; 12, 24 hours) has no effect on the protein amounts of TrxR1 and Trx. The mRNA level of TrxR1 does not show significant alteration in Ethaselen-treated A549 cells. Ethaselen (2.5-50 µM; 1-24 hours) causes intracellular Trx oxidation in A549 cells. Ethaselen (5-10 µM; 12, 24 hours) causes a clear concentration-dependent increase in ROS levels in A549 cells. The inhibition constants for Ethaselen binding to free enzyme (K i ) and the enzyme-substrate complex (K is ) were determined to be 0.022 and 0.087 µM, respectively. Ethaselen also inhibits mammalian TrxR1 in a time-dependent manner possibly by forming a covalent Se-S bond with Cys497 of Trx. MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

With a dissociation constant on the order of ≈10⁻¹⁴ mol/L,BackgroundStreptavidin is a tetrameric bacterial protein isolated from Streptomyces avidinii providing 4 high-affinity biotin binding sites. Streptavidin homo-tetramers have an extraordinarily high affinity for biotin. With a dissociation constant on the order of ≈10⁻¹⁴ mol/L, the binding of biotin to streptavidin is one of the strongest non-covalent interactions known in nature. Unlike egg-white avidin, which has a net positive charge at neutral pH and contains about 7% carbohydrate, streptavidin has almost no net charge at neutral pH, does not contain carbohydrate, and exhibits lower non-specific background. Streptavidin conjugates are widely used together with a conjugate of biotin for specific detection of a variety of proteins, protein motifs, nucleic acids and other molecules. This FITC-streptavidin conjugate was prepared by highly purified Streptavidin and free FITC was removed. Streptavidin (FITC) is a useful second-step reagent for the indirect immunofluorescent staining of cells in combination with biotinylated primary antibodies for flow cytometric analysis. Excitation at 488nm light leads to a fluorescence emission maximum of 520 nm.Recommended Usage：Every lot of Streptavidin-FITC is tested by flow cytometry using biotinylated primary antibodies. From this testing it is recommended that between 0.02 and 0.25 µg of streptavidin be used per 106 cells in a 100 µl staining volume... Read More |
