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.

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

The reaction mechanism of rat glutathione transferase T2-2 has been studied using pre-steady-state and steady-state kinetics. Several parts of the catalytic cycle including binding of substrates, product formation, and product release were investigated. Under saturating conditions, a two-step product release

We investigated the impact of glutathione transferases Mu 1 (GSTM1)- and glutathione transferase Theta 1 (GSTT1)-null genotypes on hepatic GST activities in humans and compared the results with those of Gstm1- and Gstt1-null mice. In liver with GSTM1/Gstm1-null genotype, GST
