Biological Activity

s-(n-aryl-n-hydroxycarbamoyl)glutathione derivatives have been proposed as possible anticancer agents, because of their ability to strongly inhibit the methylglyoxal-detoxifying enzyme glyoxalase i. glyoxalase i inhibitor is a potent inhibitor of glyoxalase i.

in vitro

as a tumor-selective anticancer agent, glyoxalase i inhibitor [3(et)2] was evaluated against b16 melanotic melanoma, l1210 murine leukemia, and nonproliferating murine splenic lymphocytes in culture. the diethyl ester prodrugs of glyoxalase i inhibitor [3(et)2] also displayed significant tumour-selective toxicity towards l1210 cells compared with normal murine splenic lymphocytes in vitro [1].

in vivo

small-scale efficacy studies indicated that 3b(et)2 could effectively inhibit tumour growth in plasma esterase-deficient mice bearing murine b16 melanoma and in esterasedeficient athymic nude mice bearing androgen-independent human prostate pc-3 tumours or human colon ht-29 tumours [2].
