Biochem/physiol Actions

CuET, a metabolite of disulfiram, is an inhibitor of p97 segregase adaptor NPL4 that exhibits potent anti-cancer effects. Apparently CuET binds NPL4 and induces its aggregation, which disables the vital p97–NPL4–UFD1 pathway and induces to cell death.

The interest in organic-inorganic hybrid molecules as molecular probes for biological systems has been growing rapidly. Such hybrid molecules exhibit unique biological activities. Herein, copper(II) bis(diethyldithiocarbamate) (Cu10) was found to activate the transcription factor NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), which is
