The selenoprotein thioredoxin reductase 1 (TrxR1) has in recent years been identified as a promising anticancer drug target. A high-throughput assay for discovery of novel compounds targeting the enzyme is therefore warranted. Herein, we describe a single-enzyme, dual-purpose assay for simultaneous identification of inhibitors and substrates of TrxR1. Using this assay to screen the LOPAC¹²?? compound collection we identified several known inhibitors of TrxR1, thus validating the assay, as well as several compounds hitherto unknown to target the enzyme. These included rottlerin (previously reported as a PKC? inhibitor and mitochondrial uncoupler) and the heme precursor protoporphyrin IX (PpIX). We found that PpIX was a potent competitive inhibitor of TrxR1, with a K(i)=2.7 ?M with regard to Trx1, and in the absence of Trx1 displayed time-dependent irreversible inhibition with an apparent second-order rate constant (k(inact)) of (0.73 ± 0.07) × 10?³ ?M?¹ min?¹. Exogenously delivered PpIX was cytotoxic, inhibited A549 cell proliferation, and was found to also inhibit cellular TrxR activity. Hemin and the ferrochelatase inhibitor NMPP also inhibited TrxR1 and showed cytotoxicity, but less potently compared to PpIX. We conclude that rottlerin-induced cellular effects may involve targeting of TrxR1. The unexpected finding of PpIX as a TrxR1 inhibitor suggests that such inhibition may contribute to symptoms associated with conditions of abnormally high PpIX levels, such as reduced ferrochelatase activity seen in erythropoietic protoporphyria. Finally, additional inhibitors of TrxR1 may be discovered and further characterized based upon the new high-throughput TrxR1 assay presented here.
