CHr, Chrysin: Click to Expand ⟱
Features:
Chrysin is found in passion flower and honey. It is a flavonoid.
-To reach plasma levels that might more closely match the concentrations used in in vitro studies (typically micromolar), considerably high doses or advanced delivery mechanisms would be necessary.

-Note half-life 2 hrs, BioAv very poor

TrxR, Thioredoxin Reductase: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
TrxR is an enzyme that reduces Trx, allowing it to perform its reducing functions. It has been shown to have a role in cancer cell metabolism and survival.
TrxR is overexpressed in various types of cancer, including breast, lung, colon, and prostate cancer.

- Part of the thioredoxin system, which regulates reactive oxygen species (ROS).
- TrxR is a major antioxidant systems that maintains the intracellular redox homeostasis.
- Inhibition causes an increase in ROS.
- TrxR is often upregulated in cancer cells to help manage increased oxidative stress, it is seen as a potential therapeutic target. Inhibiting TrxR may result in increased ROS in cancer cells, pushing them toward apoptosis.
- TrxR is a selenoprotein—meaning it incorporates the trace element selenium in the form of the amino acid selenocysteine.

TrxR inhibitors:
-Piperlongumine
-Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha)
-Parthenolide
-EGCG
-Curcumin
-Myricetin
-Gambogic Acid

eff↑, SeChry elicited a noteworthy cytotoxic activity with mean IC50 values 18- and 3-fold lower than those observed for chrysin and cisplatin, respectively
selectivity↑, differential behavior toward malignant and nonmalignant cells was observed for SeChry and SePQue, exhibiting higher selectivity indexes
Dose↝, 5 min. of microwave irradiation at 175 W (150 ºC) of an acetonitrile WR and flavonoid solution on a sealed pyrex microwave vial,
TrxR↓, Both compounds were able to decrease cellular TrxR
GSH↓, The results clearly showed that after treatment with both seleno-flavonoids total glutathione concentration (GSH + GSSG) decreased
MMP↓, MMP reduced by up to four times compared to control cells
ROS↑, Both seleno-derivatives were able to increase the oxidant basal production
H2O2↑, ore dramatic decrease of the MMP and a higher ability to increase the hydrogen peroxide basal production,
