| 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.

In the case of low amplification efficiency, the concentration of primers can be increased; When non-specific reactions occur, the primer concentration can be reduced to optimize the reaction system.2.

The amplification efficiency of Taq DNA Polymerase in this product is 2 kb/min.3) The number of cycles can be set based on the downstream application of the amplification product. If the number of cycles is too small, the amplification amount is insufficient; If there are too many cycles, the probability of mismatches will increase, and non-specific backgrounds will be severe. So, while ensuring product yield, the number of cycles should be minimized as much as possible...
