General description

4-Nitrobenzyl chloride acts as substrate for glutathione S-transferase(GST) in determination of GST in Chinese fetal liver. It undergoes reduction by NADPH to yield 4-nitrotoluene.

Application

4-Nitrobenzyl chloride was used to prepare unsymmetrically N,N′-bis(substituted) 4,13-diaza-18-crown-6-ether derivatives.

Ser(11) in rat glutathione transferase T2-2 is important for stabilization of the reactive enzyme-bound glutathione thiolate in the reaction with 1-menaphthyl sulfate. The S11A mutation increased the pK(a) value for the pH dependence of the rate constant for pre-steady-state product

Subcellular fractions were isolated from Chinese fetal liver at 4-8 months of age for the determination of glutathione S-transferase (GST). Using 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) as substrate, GST activity was found to be 66 +/- 34 nmol/(min.mg protein), mainly in the cytosol.

Glutathione S-transferase (GST) with activity towards CDNB as a substrate from human intrauterine conceptual tissues (HICT) at 6-10 weeks of gestation was purified approximately 200-fold by GSH coupled Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography. The preparations of affinity purified HICT-GST were used

The o-, m-, and p-nitrobenzyl chlorides are reduced aerobically and anaerobically by NADPH and rat hepatic microsomes. Under aerobic conditions, these nitro anion radicals reduce oxygen to superoxide as demonstrated by oxygen consumption and spin trapping of superoxide with 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline
