Application

Aurothioglucose hydrate has been used in redox stress survival assay in human cell lines and for inducing obese phenotype in mice.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Aurothioglucose, a gold compound used clinically to treat rheumatoid arthritis, has recently been found to be a potent PKCiota-Par6 interaction inhibitor, with an IC50 approximately 1 μM. Disruption of this interaction disrupts a rac1 signaling pathway that is required for transformed growth in non-small-cell lung cancer.
