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.

Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.), 19(3), 514-521 (2010-08-14)
An obesity-induced diabetes model using genetically normal mouse strains would be invaluable but remains to be established. One reason is that several normal mouse strains are resistant to high-fat diet-induced obesity. In the present study, we show the effectiveness of

D-chiro-Inositol (DCI) enhances reproductive function in insulin-resistant women with polycystic ovarian disease and enhances the effects of insulin in the periphery, suggesting that this compound may act in part by sensitizing the hypothalamus to effects of insulin. Effects of gold-thioglucose

Pharmaceutical research, 23(6), 1188-1200 (2006-05-23)
Changes in physiological, pathophysiological, and/or nutritional conditions often alter the expression of drug-metabolizing enzymes. In this study, we investigated obesity-induced changes in hepatic cytochrome P450 (P450) levels using nutritionally obese mice. To induce obesity, mice were fed a high-fat diet

For reasons of insufficient quality of the raw material, aurothioglucose was withdrawn from the Dutch market at the end of 2001. Aurothiomalate became available as an alternative preparation. We followed a cohort of patients during the first year after switching

Similar to leptin, ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) suppresses appetite and selectively reduces body fat in leptin-deficient ob/ob mice. To assess the relative importance of specific regions of the hypothalamus in mediating these effects, we administered a CNTF analogue (CNTFAx15) or
