General description

1-Chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene on incubation with erythrocyte undergoes conjugation with erythrocyte glutathione (GSH) to form 2,4-dinitrophenyl-S-glutathione. It is an irreversible inhibitor of human thioredoxin reductase.

Application

1-Chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene has been used as alkylating agent to evaluate the depletion of intracellular erythrocyte glutathione (GSH).

Human thioredoxin reductase is a dimeric enzyme that catalyzes reduction of the disulfide in oxidized thioredoxin by a mechanism involving transfer of electrons from NADPH via FAD to a redox-active disulfide. 1-Chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (DNCB) is an alkylating agent used for depleting

Erythrocyte glutathione (GSH) can be rapidly depleted by incubating the cells with 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB), which forms 2,4-dinitrophenyl-S-glutathione with GSH through the reaction catalyzed by glutathione S-transferase. GSH-CDNB conjugate thus formed stays undegraded within the erythrocytes. This indicates that in the

2,4-Dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) is widely used in human clinical studies and in experimental animal studies to evoke allergic contact dermatitis. 2,4-Dinitrochlorobenzene is a potent immunogen capable of inducing contact sensitization in all humans exposed. However, the mechanism by which DNCB evokes

We previously reported that prior nasal administration of highly attenuated Bordetella pertussis BPZE1 provides effective and sustained protection against lethal challenge with influenza A viruses. The protective effect was mediated by suppressing the production of major pro-inflammatory mediators. To further
