Thioredoxin Inhibitors Attenuate Platelet Function and Thrombus Formation. by Clive Metcalfe, Anjana Ramasubramoni, Giordano Pula, Matthew T Harper, Stuart J Mundell, Carmen H Coxon

“…Due to the emerging role and importance of oxidoreductases for haemostasis and the current interest in developing inhibitors for clinical use, we thought it pertinent to assess whether inhibition of the NADPH/thioredoxin reductase/thioredoxin system affects platelet function and thrombosis. We used small molecule inhibitors of Trx (PMX 464 and PX-12) to determine whether Trx activity influences platelet function, as well as an unbiased proteomics approach to identify potential Trx substrates on the surface of platelets that might contribute to platelet reactivity and function. …”
