title: Synthesis and evaluation of an N-acylated photoactivatable analogue of glutathione as probe for glutathione-utilizing enzymes.
abstract: The first synthesis of an N-acylated photoactivatable analogue of reduced glutathione is described. N-(4-Benzoylbenzoyl)glutathione (8) was found to be an inhibitor and a photoaffinity probe of purified rat liver glutathione S-transferases.
