Treatment of A549 human lung carcinoma cells with L-buthionine-[S,R]-sulfoximine (BSO) results concomitantly in cellular glutathione (GSH) depletion and growth inhibition. The nature of BSO effects on cell growth and the relationships between BSO inhibition of cell growth and BSO effects on cellular
The glutathione (GSH) synthesis inhibitor, buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) was tested for cytotoxicity and thiol depletion in murine and human tumor cells in vitro, and for its antitumor activity and toxicity in vivo. The cell lines used in these studies included murine L-1210 leukemia, human RPMI 8226
## Abstract Glutathione (GSH) has often been implicated in the mechanism of resistance to platinum antiβcancer drugs. It has been suggested that GSH may reduce the cytotoxicity of these drugs by forming inactive conjugates and by enhancing the repair of DNAβplatinum crosslinks. In the present study
