“Reaction of CNUs with glutathione (GSH) offers a better estimation of carbamoylating potential in vitro.”
“The decrease in free thiol groups during incubation of GSH with various CNUs can be followed using the thiol reagent 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB).”
“Various carbamoylated and alkylated GSH derivatives, such as S-(2-chloroethylcarbamoyl)-, S-(2-hydroxyethylcarbamoyl)-, S-(cyclohexylcarbamoyl)-, S-(4-methylcyclohexylcarbamoyl)- and S-(2-hydroxyethyl)glutathione, are formed on incubation of GSH with CNUs.”
