2,5-Epidithia-3,6-dioxopiperazine

2,5-Epidithia-3,6-dioxopiperazine (Formula 15) is a derivative of Epidithiodioxopiperazine (ETP). 2,5-Epidithia-3,6-dioxopiperazine improves intracellular penetration and restores the activity of 2-Cys-Prx (especially Peroxiredoxin II (PrxII)) of form simulation in cells. 2,5-Epidithia-3,6-dioxopiperazine inhibits PDGF-induced proliferation and migration in vascular smooth muscle cells while promoting these actions in endothelial cells with VEGF induction. 2,5-Epidithia-3,6-dioxopiperazine effectively inhibits the proliferation and migration and lung metastasis of melanoma cells. 2,5-Epidithia-3,6-dioxopiperazine can be used for vascular disorders such as hypertension, angina pectoris and myocardial infarction research.
