Abstract

Curcumin analogs were first investigated for their inhibitory effects on thioredoxin reductase (TrxR). Most of them were more potent TrxR inhibitors than natural curcumin. The structure-activity relationship was summarized, and the curcumin analog was found to inhibit TrxR irreversibly in a time-dependent manner. The action was caused by covalent modification of the redox-active residues Cys497 and Sec498 in TrxR.
