General description

DL-buthionine-SR-sulfoximine (BSO) is an amino acid analogue,[1] which acts as an inhibitor of γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase.[2] BSO increases the sensitivity of Trypanosoma cruzi to antiparasitic drugs, such as nifurtimox or benznidazole.[1]

Application

DL-Buthionine-(S,R)-sulfoximine has also been used:
  • to induce oxidative stress in Starlings[3]
  • to deplete choroidal glutathione (GSH) in two-day-old rat pups[4]
  • to test its inhibitory effect on the enzymes, γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase and trypanothione synthetase (TryS) from T. cruzi[5]

DL-Buthionine-(S,R)-sulfoximine has been used to deplete cellular glutathione levels in retinal ganglion cell 5 (RGC-5) cell line.[6]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Depletes cellular glutathione and downregulates GST level.

The interleukin (IL)-23/IL-17A/IL-22 cytokine axis plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis, wherein IL-22 effects on epidermal alternations by inhibiting differentiation and inducing keratinocyte proliferation. In this study, we investigated effects of curcumin on IL-22-induced proliferation in a
