Abstract excerpt
Clinical efficacy of alkylating anticancer drugs, such as chlorambucil, is often limited by the emergence of drug resistant tumor cells. Increased glutathione (GSH) conjugation (inactivation) of alkylating anticancer drugs or their activated metabolites due to overexpression of the Pi class GSH S-transferase (hGSTP1-1) is believed to be an important mechanism in tumor cell resistance to alkylating agents....
