  • Publication number: 20030175848
    Abstract: The invention concerns substituted dithio-bis-nitrobenzenes (dithio-bis-nitrobenzylamines, dithio-bis-nitrobenzamides or dithio-bis-nitrophenacyls) and their uses as alternative substrates for NAD(P)H-dependent disulphide-reductase enzymes, such as trypanothion reductase and thioredoxine reductase and as a means for screening inhibitors of said enzymes. The invention also concerns an enzymatic test using said substrates and assay kits containing them. Said dithio-bis-nitrobenzenes correspond to general formula (I).
