Based on this method of compound activity classification, we identified a class of
thiol -
reactive (electrophilic) HMOX1 inducing compounds, exemplified by HPP - 1014.
In NHLF cells transfected with siRNA against Nrf2 and subsequently treated with either the
thiol -
reactive compounds CDDO - Me or HPP - 1014; or the non-
reactive compounds CoPP or HPP - 4382, there was a marked reduction in HMOX1 expression.
Thiol -
reactive electrophilic compounds often increase ROS levels in cells, as a consequence of their ability to deplete glutathione.
The
thiol is the major
reactive site within the amino acid, cysteine, which is ubiquitous in biochemically active proteins such as enzymes.
