Glutathione analogs and paralog panels comprising glutathione mimics

摘要

Compounds of the formula (1) or the alkyl (1-6 C), alkenyl (1-6 C), or arylalkyl (7-12 C) amides or salts including the cycloamido forms thereof; wherein n is 1 or 2; wherein when n is 1, X is a mono- or disubstituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbyl (1-20 C) moiety optionally containing 1 or 2 nonadjacent heteroatoms (O, S or N), and wherein said substitution is selected from the group consisting of halo, OR, and SR, wherein R is H or lower alkyl (1-4 C); when n is 2, one X is as above defined and the other X is lower alkyl (1-4 C); Y is selected from the group consisting of wherein m is 1 or 2; and AAC is an amino acid coupled through a peptide bond to the remainder of the compound of formula 1, are useful as affinity ligands, elution reagents, solution inhibitors, diagnostic reagents and therapeutics. These compounds and analogous tripeptide glutathione analogs can be used as members of panels to obtain specific characteristic profiles for various glutathione-S-transferases.
