Glutathione reductase

L-Glutathione reduced (Glutathione) is a naturally occurring tripeptide found in cells as an endogenous antioxidant that scavenges oxygen free radicals. L-Glutathione reduced is a cofactor for certain enzymes and is involved in the rearrangement of protein disulfide bonds and the reduction of peroxides.

Glutathione oxidized (L(-)-Glutathione) is a GLUTATHIONE dimer formed by a disulfide bond between the cysteine sulfhydryl side chains during the course of being oxidized.

LCS3 is a reversible and non-competitive synergistic inhibitor of glutathione disulfide reductase (GSR) and thioredoxin reductase 1 (TXNRD1) with IC50s of 3.3 μM and 3.8 μM, respectively. LCS3 has antitumour activity, induces apoptosis and can be used in the study of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).

Nitrofurazone (Furacilin) is a topical anti-infective agent effective against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. It is used for superficial WOUNDS AND INJURIES and skin infections. Nitrofurazone(NFZ) has also been administered orally in the treatment of TRYPANOSOMIASIS.
