Abstract

Highlights • Five aromatic or polycyclic aromatic glutathione conjugates were synthesized. • Enzyme kinetic studies were performed for each conjugate as a γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT) donor substrate. • All conjugates tested were substrates for GGT, with a possible trend towards higher Km values for bulkier substrates. • These results clarify the ability of GGT to act in the biotransformation of aromatic compounds.
