Gene Information

Application

L-Buthionine-sulfoximine has been used:
  • as a selective activator for the induction of ferroptosis in rat apoptotic cells
  • as an inhibitor of γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase to study its effects on the viability and effectiveness of microspore embryogenesis (ME) induction in triticale and barley
  • as a glutathione synthesis blocker to study its effects on auranofin (AFN)-mediated interleukin-1β expression in murine alveolar macrophages

Used to induce experimental glutathione deficiency, to investigate roles of glutathione in cellular processes.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Blocks cellular resistance to chemotherapy by inhibiting γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase, a key enzyme in glutathione biosynthesis. Used to induce experimental glutathione deficiency, to investigate roles of glutathione in cellular processes.

The delivery of therapeutics into tumors remains a challenge in nanoparticle-mediated drug delivery. However, effective therapies such as photothermal therapy (PTT) are limited by quick systemic clearance and non-specific biodistribution. Anti-tumor strategies tailored to accommodate both tumor accumulation/retention and cellular
