NCIt definition : A naturally-occurring, sulfur-rich, cyclic oligopeptide antibiotic of the thiopeptide
class, and an irreversible inhibitor of the mitochondrial thioredoxin-dependent peroxide
reductase (peroxiredoxin-3; PRX3; antioxidant protein 1; AOP-1), with potential antineoplastic
activity. Upon intrapleural administration, thiostrepton irreversibly binds to and
inhibits the activity of PRX3. This inhibits the peroxidase activity of the thioredoxin
reductase 2 (TXNRD2)-thioredoxin-2 (TRX2)-PRX3 antioxidant signaling network within
the mitochondria, which may result in the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide and lead
to tumor cell death. PRX3 is upregulated in cancer cells and plays an important role
in the regulation of the oxidative stress pathways.;
