| Target |
glutamylcysteine synthetase[1] |
| In Vitro | Buthionine sulfoximine is an analogs of methionine sulfoximine and inhibits gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase about 20 times more effectively than prothionine sulfoximine and at least 100 times more effectively than methionine sulfoximine[1]. |
| In Vivo | Treatment of mice bearing HT1080 and HT1080/DR4 xenografts with a continuous i.v infusion of nontoxic doses of D,L-Buthionine-(S,R)-sulfoximine (300 and 600 mg/kg/day) produce a 60% reduction of GSH plasma levels and greater than 95 % reduction in GSH tumor levels in both parental and multidrug-resistant tumors[2]. |
| Animal Admin | Mice[2] D,L-Buthionine-(S,R)-sulfoximine is dissolved in sterile 0.9% saline, filtered through a 0.2-p.m polysulfone membrane filter, and administered by 48-h continuous iv. infusion at a dose of 300 mg/kg/day and 600 mg/kg/day starting at 24 h before doxorubicin administration. In vivo GSH levels after treatment with D,L-Buthionine-(S,R)-sulfoximine at a dose of 300 mg/kg and 600 mg/kg for 24 h as an iv. continuous infusion in munine plasma and in tumor tissue of HT1080 and HT1080/DR4 xenografts is measured[2]. |
