Ethacrynic acid increases the cytotoxicity of chlorambucil in rat and human tumor cell lines.[1]
Ethacrynic acid is non sulfonamide loop diuretic that is used to treat high blood pressure and the swelling caused by diseases like congestive heart failure. Ethacrynic acid blocks sodium-potassium-chloride cotransport. Also, Ethacrynic acid potently inhibits glutathione S-transferase family members. Studies show that ethacrynic acid potently inhibits Tgase-2 (transglutaminase-2) dependent metastasis of cancer cells including lung and pancreatic cancers.

Oxidative stress and ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury are crucial in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. The antioxidant glutathione S-transferase (GST) is responsible for the high-capacity metabolic inactivation of electrophilic compounds and toxic substrates. The main objective of the present study was
Inhibition of rat and human glutathione S-transferase isoenzymes by ethacrynic acid and its glutathione conjugate.
Glutathione transferases (GSTs) represent a large and diverse enzyme family involved in the detoxification of small molecules by glutathione conjugation in crops, weeds and model plants. In this study, we introduce an easy and quick assay for photoaffinity labeling of
The crocodile is a model for studying relevant sources of environmental contamination. They were determined an appropriate biomonitoring species for various toxins. The cytosolic and microsomal fraction of crocodiles plays a role in detoxifying xenobiotics. Cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) metabolizes
Induction of hypothermia during hibernation/torpor enables certain mammals to survive under extreme environmental conditions. However, pharmacological induction of hypothermia in most mammals remains a huge challenge. Here we show that a natural product P57 promptly induces hypothermia and decreases energy
