Abstract excerpt
A human colon cancer cell line with acquired multidrug resistance (MDR) was assayed for the intracellular GSH level and the activity of GSH-S-transferase (GST), which catalyzes the conjugation reaction of electrophilic drugs with GSH. The GSH level and GST activity (as measured with 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene) were elevated in the resistant cells by 1.7-fold and 2-fold, respectively. This elevated catalytic...
