Treatment of D. radiodurans with different TrxR inhibitors such as ebselen, epigallocatechin gallate and auranofin displayed this organism sensitivity to HO treatment in a concentration-dependent manner.

We investigated the preventive effect of linalool, a natural monoterpene, against UVB-induced oxidative imbalance, activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling in HDFa cells. We observed that linalool treatment (30 μM) prevented acute UVB-irradiation (20 mJ/cm2) mediated loss of activities of antioxidant enzymes in HDFa cells.
