IC50: 0.60 μM (rat TrxR1)[1]
DVD-445 specifically targets thioredoxin reductase 1 (TrxR1), a key enzyme in the thioredoxin system, which is crucial for maintaining cellular redox homeostasis. As a covalent inhibitor, DVD-445 irreversibly binds to the active site of TrxR1, inhibiting its activity. This disruption leads to increased oxidative stress, which can selectively trigger apoptosis in cancer cells, making it a target for oncology research. |

| ln Vitro |
In SH-SY5Y, U87, HaCaT, and PBMCs, DVD-445 (Compound 7) exhibits cytotoxic effects with IC50 values of 10.99 μM, 9.70 μM, 8.30 μM, and 55.71 μM, in that order[1].
In vitro, DVD-445 is a potent inhibitor of rat TrxR1 with an IC50 of 0.60 microM. It exhibits cytotoxic effects on a panel of human cell lines, including SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells (IC50 = 10.99 microM), U87 glioblastoma cells (IC50 = 9.70 microM), HaCaT keratinocytes (IC50 = 8.30 microM), and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs, IC50 = 55.71 microM). These results demonstrate its selective anti-proliferative activity against cancer and transformed cells. |
| ln Vivo |
Detailed published in vivo data for DVD-445 is limited as it is a research tool. However, as a potent TrxR1 inhibitor, it has promising anticancer applications. In vivo activity would be assessed in animal models, where it is hypothesized to inhibit tumor growth by inducing oxidative stress and apoptosis. The compound is available for research use, and its formulation for in vivo studies would require careful selection of a suitable vehicle to ensure solubility and bioavailability.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
For in vitro enzyme assays, DVD-445 is dissolved in DMSO to prepare a stock solution, which is then diluted in an appropriate assay buffer. The compound is incubated with purified rat TrxR1 enzyme. The enzymatic activity is measured by following the reduction of DTNB (5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid)) in the presence of NADPH. The rate of reaction is monitored spectrophotometrically at 412 nm, and the IC50 is calculated from the inhibition curve.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cytotoxicity is assessed using standard cell viability assays such as MTT or CellTiter-Glo. Cells are seeded in 96-well plates and cultured overnight. They are then treated with various concentrations of DVD-445 (e.g., 0.1-100 microM) for 24-72 hours. After treatment, the viability reagent is added, and the absorbance or luminescence is measured, with IC50 values calculated from dose-response curves. Induction of oxidative stress can be measured using a fluorescent probe such as DCFH-DA.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments with DVD-445 would typically be performed in rodents (e.g., mice or rats) bearing subcutaneous tumor xenografts (e.g., U87 or SH-SY5Y). The compound would be formulated in a suitable vehicle (e.g., 10% DMSO in corn oil or a mixture of PEG300 and saline) and administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) or intravenously (i.v.) at a specific dose and schedule (e.g., daily or every other day). Tumor volume is measured periodically with calipers, and body weight is monitored to assess tolerability. At the end of the study, tumors are excised for analysis of TrxR1 inhibition and apoptosis markers.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
As a research compound, detailed pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters for DVD-445 are not extensively published. The compound has a molecular weight of 458.5 and is soluble in DMSO (80 mg/mL). For in vivo studies, its formulation would be critical for bioavailability. Standard practice would involve evaluating its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) profile in a preclinical setting to determine its half-life, clearance, and volume of distribution before efficacy studies.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Specific toxicological data for DVD-445 is not readily available in public sources. As a covalent inhibitor of a cellular redox enzyme, its toxicological profile would be an important part of its preclinical evaluation. Standard laboratory safety precautions for handling cytotoxic research compounds should be observed, including the use of gloves, lab coats, and safety glasses. The compound is for research use only and not intended for human consumption.

| Additional Infomation |
DVD-445 is not an approved drug and is strictly a research-use biochemical. It has no approved therapeutic status. It is used as a biochemical tool to study the role of thioredoxin reductase 1 (TrxR1) in cancer biology, oxidative stress, and cell death pathways. As a potent and covalent inhibitor, it is particularly useful for target validation studies aimed at developing novel anticancer therapies that exploit the elevated oxidative stress in tumor cells.
