描述 | 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. |
