title: Reaction of COTC with glutathione: structure of the putative glyoxalase I inhibitor.
abstract: The structure of the active glyoxalase I inhibitor derived from the Streptomyces griseosporeus metabolite COTC 1 has been conclusively identified by means of total synthesis as 2c. Human glyoxalase I is competitively inhibited by 2c (K(i)() = 183 +/- 6 microM) but is not inhibited by 1 itself.
