General description

4-Nitrobenzyl chloride acts as substrate for glutathione S-transferase(GST) in determination of GST in Chinese fetal liver. It undergoes reduction by NADPH to yield 4-nitrotoluene.

Application

4-Nitrobenzyl chloride was used to prepare unsymmetrically N,N′-bis(substituted) 4,13-diaza-18-crown-6-ether derivatives.

Subcellular fractions were isolated from Chinese fetal liver at 4-8 months of age for the determination of glutathione S-transferase (GST). Using 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) as substrate, GST activity was found to be 66 +/- 34 nmol/(min.mg protein), mainly in the cytosol.

The benzyl halides benzyl bromide and 4-nitrobenzyl chloride are reduced anaerobically by NADPH and rat liver microsomes to yield toluene and 4-nitrotoluene, respectively. These reductions and cytochrome P-450-dependent since they are inhibited by CO and metyrapone, and are increased after

Ser(11) in rat glutathione transferase T2-2 is important for stabilization of the reactive enzyme-bound glutathione thiolate in the reaction with 1-menaphthyl sulfate. The S11A mutation increased the pK(a) value for the pH dependence of the rate constant for pre-steady-state product

When rats were orally administered a daily dose of 300 mg kg-1 body weight of 3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxytoluene (BHT) for 4 days, about 90% increase over basal level in total glutathione (GSH) S-transferase activity towards 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) was observed in ocular lens.
