General description
Ebselen is a sympathomimetic amine.
Application
Ebselen has been used as a:
extensor digitorum longus (fast-twitch) muscle
- voltage-dependent calcium channels (VDCCs) blocker[1]
- glutathione peroxidase mimetic to test its inhibitory effect on contraction-mediated deoxy glucose (2-DG) uptake in mouse
extensor digitorum longus (fast-twitch) muscle
- glucocerebrosidase inhibitor
- hepatitis C virus helicase inhibitor[2]
Biochem/physiol Actions
Ebselen, a glutathione-peroxidase-mimic, elicits anti-inflammatory activity. It also has anti-atherosclerotic functionality. Ebselen displays antibacterial action on) multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections and could be a potential therapeutic target for treating MRSA based skin infection. It is regarded as neuroprotective agent and elicits chemopreventive functionality in inflammation-associated carcinogenesis.
An organo-selenium compound possessing antioxidant properties. Inhibits mammalian lipoxygenases in the absence of thiol groups, and glutathione S-transferase and papain via the interaction with cysteine residues. Also inhibits indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase by covalently modifying a cysteine residue, the effect being reversible with dithiothreitol.[3] Inhibits oxidation of low density lipoproteins (LDL).

Hello, we recently ordered this product (Ebselen, Cat# E3520). I dissolved it in DMSO (5 mg/mL) and plan to use it in cell experiments. However, I just noticed that the purity is ≥98% (TLC). Would this be suitable for cell-based experiments.Thank you.
