Application

Ligand useful for affinity chromatography of glutathione-S-transferase and glutathione peroxidase.

Biochem/physiol Actions

S-Hexylglutathione may be used as an affinity chromatography ligand of glutathione-S-transferase and glutathione peroxidase. S-Hexylglutathione is also used as an inhibitor to study the specificity and kinetics of enzymes such as mitochondrial membrane-bound glutathione transferase(s) (mtMGST1).

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs), a major family of detoxifying enzymes, play a pivotal role in insecticide resistance in insects. In the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae, insect-specific epsilon class GSTs are associated with resistance to the organochlorine insecticide DDT [1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis-(p-chlorophenyl)ethane]. Five of

The 26-kDa glutathione S-transferase from Schistosoma japonicum (Sj26GST), a helminth worm that causes schistosomiasis, catalyzes the conjugation of glutathione with toxic secondary products of membrane lipid peroxidation. Crystal structures of Sj26GST in complex with glutathione sulfonate (Sj26GSTSLF), S-hexyl glutathione (Sj26GSTHEX)

Nipradilol (3,4-dihydro-8-(2-hydroxy-3-isopropylamino)propoxy-3-nitroxy-2H-1-benzopyran) is used clinically as an anti-glaucoma ophthalmic solution in Japan, and was recently reported to suppress N-methyl-d-aspartate-induced retinal damage in rats. Here we investigated cytotoxic and cytoprotective actions of nipradilol on primary cultures of rat cortical neurons. Treatment
