| 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 |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | An organo-selenium compound possessing antioxidant properties. Inhibits mammalian lipoxygenases in the absence of thiol groups, and glutathione S-transferase and papain via the interaction with cysteine residues. Also inhibits indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase by covalently modifying a cysteine residue, the effect being reversible with dithiothreitol. Inhibits oxidation of low density lipoproteins (LDL). |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Ebselen, a glutathione-peroxidase-mi |
| General description: | Ebselen is a sympathomimetic amine. |
