Binding of cefpiramide (CPM) and other beta-lactam antimicrobial agents to 2(3)-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole (BHA)-induced liver glutathione (GSH) S-transferases (EC 2.5.1.18) from CD-1 mice was studied. A marked induction of hepatic GSH S-transferase from mice fed BHA was observed. Gel chromatography of liver

Certain mono- and dihydroxybenzene derivatives are selectively cytotoxic for melanocytes in vivo, and can cause depigmentation of skin and hair. We produced selective melanocytotoxicity/hair depigmentation in C57Bl mice by injection of 0.032-1.0% p-t-butylcatechol (tBC) or p-hydroxyanisole (MMEH) in physiological saline.
