Application

MJ33 lithium salt has been used as a peroxiredoxin VI (Prdx6) inhibitor:
  • to study its specific Prdx6 peroxidase activity in vitro and in breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) cell lysates
  • to study its effects on a mouse model of acute lung injury associated with exposure to hyperoxia
  • to study its potential use as a therapeutic agent

Biochem/physiol Actions

MJ33 acts as a non-toxic and potent inhibitor of agonist-induced activation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase type 2 (NOX2). It also prevents lung injuries associated with lung inflammation in mice. MJ33 is a fluorinated lipid analog, which blocks the enzyme by mimicking the transition state of the substrate.
Novel, active site directed, specific, competitive and reversible inhibitor of phospholipase A2 (PLA2).

Peroxiredoxins (PRDXs) are antioxidant enzymes that protect cells from oxidative stress and play a role in reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated signaling. We reported that PRDXs are critical for human fertility by maintaining sperm viability and regulating ROS levels during capacitation.

Peroxiredoxin 6 (Prdx6) is a multifunctional enzyme that serves important antioxidant roles by scavenging hydroperoxides and reducing peroxidized cell membranes. Prdx6 also plays a key role in cell signaling by activating the NADPH oxidase, type 2 (Nox2) through its acidic

This report provides definitive evidence that the protein 1-Cys peroxiredoxin is a bifunctional ("moonlighting") enzyme with two distinct active sites. We have previously shown that human, rat, and bovine lungs contain an acidic Ca(2+)-independent phospholipase A(2) (aiPLA(2)). The cDNA encoding
