  • Publication number: 20140088149
    Abstract: The mechanism of action of Ebselen differentiates between bacterial and mammalian thioredoxin reductase (TrxR). It displays fast oxidation of mammalian Trx and via the NADPH-TrxR catalyzed turnover of ebselen selenol with hydrogen peroxide, and therefore are mammalian antioxidants. Ebselen, and its diselenide, are strong competitive inhibitors of E. coli TrxR with Ki of 0.14 ?M and 0.46 ?M, respectively. E. coli mutants lacking glutathione reductase or glutathione were much more sensitive to inhibition by ebselen. Since either glutaredoxin or thioredoxin systems are electron donors to ribonucleotide reductase, ebselen targets primarily glutathione and glutaredoxin-negative bacteria, a class which includes major pathogens. Ebselen, and similar compounds are therefore useful as antibacterial agents, even for multiresistant strains.

  • Publication number: 20140073611
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a platform of using zebrafish in screening candidates for treating and/or preventing myopia and keratoconus disease. The disclosure is mainly based on that Lumican, one of several SLRPs, plays an important role in the regulation of fibrillogenesis or the genes affecting the size of eyeballs in zebrafish, in addition to playing an important role in clinical myopia. Therefore, the disclosure uses the established zebrafish model to further identify the drugs affecting the expression of lumican and collagen fibrillogenesis, and/or the regulation of eyeball size. These drugs are potential candidates for treating myopia and/or keratoconus disease.
