L-gamma-glutamyl-S-(naphthalen-1-ylmethyl)-L-cysteinylglycine

L-gamma-glutamyl-S-(naphthalen-1-ylmethyl)-L-cysteinylglycine is a synthetic tripeptide and an oligopeptide derivative of glutathione, in which the cysteine residue is S-substituted with a naphthalenemethyl group. It belongs to the class of organic compounds known as oligopeptides, specifically gamma-glutamyl peptides. This compound is sometimes referred to as a "glutathione conjugate" due to its structural similarity to glutathione and its role as a model substrate for studying glutathione S-transferase-mediated biotransformation. There are no approved therapeutic indications or clinical uses reported for this molecule; it is primarily used in biochemical research settings[1][2][7].
