Abstract

Here we report the development of fluorogenic substrates for glutathione S-transferase (GST), a multigene-family enzyme mainly involved in detoxification of endogenous and exogenous compounds, including drug metabolism. GST is often overexpressed in a variety of malignancies and is involved in the development of resistance to various anticancer drugs. Despite the medical significance of this enzyme, no practical fluorogenic substrates ...
