Glutathione transferase activity was shown to be present in an immobilized preparation of microsomal protein. Chlorodinitrobenzene, ethacrynic acid, captopril, styrene oxide, and iminocyclophosphamide were found to be substrates, each providing a different kind of electrophilic functional group for conjugation. The glutathione conjugates were characterized by thin layer chromatography (visualized by reaction with ninhydrin) and by high pressure liquid chromatography. A variety of conditions was evaluated for analysis of these glutathiones by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry.
