Inhibition and photo-deinhibition of glutathione (S)-transferase activity by an organometallic complex: (S)-[3-CpFe(CO)(2)(eta(1)-N-succinimidato)]glutathione
M. Salmain et al., Inhibition and photo-deinhibition of glutathione (S)-transferase activity by an organometallic complex: (S)-[3-CpFe(CO)(2)(eta(1)-N-succinimidato)]glutathione, J ORGMET CH, 589(1), 1999, pp. 98-102
The bioorganometallic complex (S)-[3-CpFe(CO)(2)(eta(1)-N-succinimidato)]gl
utathione 1 resulting from the reaction of glutathione with (eta(5)-Cp)Fe(C
O)(2)(eta(1)-N-maleimidato) is shown to inhibit in a competitive manner the
enzymatic activity of glutathione (S)-transferase. Moreover, when the Fp f
ragment is removed by photochemical means, the resulting compound 2 loses t
his property, which thus appears to be due to the presence of the organomet
allic moiety. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
