glutathione transferases

Coniferyl ferulate is a strong inhibitor of glutathione S-transferase (GST) isolated from Radix Angelicae sinensis. It shows strong inhibition of human placental GST (IC50: 0.3 μM). It also reverses multidrug resistance and downregulates P-glycoprotein.

α-Angelica lactone has cardiotonic activity, may exert their effects by providing an increased contraction-dependent calcium pool to be released upon systolic depolarization.

DL-Goitrin is a potent antithyroid compound found naturally in crucifers. DL-Goitrin is responsible for the induction of glutathione S-transferases. DL-Goitrin is a moderate inhibitor of purified bovine adrenal dopamine beta-hydroxylase, leads to a depression of brain norepinephrine and to an elevation of heart and adrenal dopamine.

Curzerene, a sesquiterpene compound derived from the rhizome of Curculigo orchioides Gaertn, possesses potent anti-cancer properties. It is known to induce apoptosis in cells[1] and also suppress the expression of glutathione S-transferase A1 (GSTA1) mRNA and protein.

Seneciphylline, one of the hepatotoxic pyrolizidine alkaloids, has mutagenic activity in Drosophila and their transfer into rat milk.Seneciphylline can significantly increased the activities of epoxide hydrase and glutathione-S-transferase but cause reduc

Trans-Methylisoeugenol is a compound with insecticidal activity isolated from Acorus calamus L. It is a natural food flavor. It is a natural food flavor with anxiolytic and antidepressant properties and moderately reversible inhibition of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) (0.2 to 5.4 mmol for human GSTs and 0.4 to 4.9 mmol for rat GSTs).
