Abstract excerpt
Alkylating agents are extensively used in the treatment of cancer. The clinical usefulness of this class of anticancer drugs, however, is often limited by the emergence of drug-resistant tumor cells. Increased glutathione (GSH) conjugation through catalysis by GSH S-transferases (GSTs) is believed to be an important mechanism in tumor cell resistance to alkylating agents. In the present study, we report that the...
