Abstract

The fourth and final science article on cancer treatments reviews the thioredoxin system and its association with cancer, and how it offers a new therapeutic target for anticancer drug design. The most stidied thioredoxin is the classic cytosolic thioredoxin (Trx1), which is the main focus of this article. Two irreversible thioredoxin inhibitors are in development, Px-12 (1-methylpropyl 2-imidazolyl disulphide) and PMX-464 (formerly AW464).
