Selective inhibition of endogenous antioxidants with Auranofin causes mitochondrial oxidative stress which can be countered by selenium supplementation

open access: yesBiochemical Pharmacology, 2017
Auranofin is a thiol-reactive gold (I)-containing compound with potential as a chemotherapeutic. Auranofin has the capacity to selectively inhibit endogenous antioxidant enzymes thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), resulting in ...

Polymorphism of auranofin

International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 1985
Abstract Two forms of auranofin, designated as A and B, have been identified. These two forms are identical in composition and differ only in their crystalline morphology. Contrary to usual expectations, form A, having the lower melting temperature, also has the lower apparent equilibrium solubility.

Pharmacology of Auranofin: Overview and Update

Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology, 1986
Auranofin, the only approved oral gold complex of value in suppressing rheumatoid arthritis, differs from injectable gold compounds molecularly and pharmacologically. Although comparably efficacious, the side-effect profiles of oral and intramuscular gold differ, and the withdrawal rate for adverse reactions is several-fold lower with auranofin ...

The Effect of Auranofin on Polymorphonuclear Granulocytes

Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology, 1983
The effects of auranofin on the function of neutrophil polymorphonuclear granulocytes (PMN) have been studied in vitro and in vivo. Preincubation of human PMN with auranofin (1-4 micrograms/ml) increased their adherence to nylon fibres and f-met-leu-phe-(fMLP) induced aggregation.
