Abstract

Mammalian thioredoxin reductases (TrxRs) are a family of NADPH-dependent flavoproteins with a penultimate selenocysteine residue at the carboxy-terminus. Besides their native substrate thioredoxins (Trx), the enzymes show a broad substrate specificity, at least partially, because of the C-terminal redox-active site that is easily accessible in the reduced form. TrxRs are ubiquitous in all kinds of cells and have a critical role in regulating intracellular redox signaling. In recent years, a wealth of evidence has revealed that overactivation/dysfunction of TrxRs is closely related to various diseases, especially in tumor development, and thus the past decades have witnessed an expanding interest in finding TrxRs inhibitors, which might be promising agents for cancer chemotherapy. Herein we reviewed the small molecule inhibitors of mammalian TrxRs, with an emphasis on those that have potential anticancer activity. This review includes the nonpatent references up to 2010 that deal with mammalian TrxR inhibitors.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
