Among the various biochemical functions assumed by the tripeptide glutathione (GSH), a role in cell protection against xenobiotics has been well established. In the case of resistance to cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (CDDP) this role is controversial. CDDP reacts with nucleophiles and binds covalently to DNA, its ultimate target. We addressed the question of a putative role of GSH as a secondary non-essential...
