Product Description
Ebselen is an interesting organoselenium compound displaying antiinflammatory and antioxidant properties. Ebselen is shown to inhibit the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) and 15-lipoxygenase (15-LO) enzymes in the absence of glutathione. Ebselen also inhibits Cox (cyclooxygenase), PKC (protein kinase C), DECR1 (NADPH), and Mox-1 (NADPH oxidase). The oxidation of low density lipoproteins by free radicals is suppressed by the antioxidant action of Ebselen. Ebselen is an inhibitor of Cox-1, Cox-2, NOS, GST and IDO. An inhibitor of 5-LO, 15-LO, Cox, NADPH, and NADPH oxidase.
application：
Ebselen has been used as a:voltage-dependent calcium channels (VDCCs) blocker；glutathione peroxidase mimetic to test its inhibitory effect on contraction-mediated deoxy glucose (2-DG) uptake in mouse；extensor digitorum longus (fast-twitch) muscle
glucocerebrosidase inhibitor；hepatitis C virus helicase inhibitor
