Abstract

The study was initiated elucidate the mechanism by examining the effect of GE-132 on hepatic glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity. Activity of GST increased with dose-dependent manner in hepatic cytosolic fraction of GE-132 treatment rats. Double reciprocal plotting gave Vmax value 1.4 fold increase by the treatment of GE-132(100mg/kg, p.o.for 6 weeks) compared with control group, but did not change Km value. Ethacryinc acid (85mg/kg, once a day, i.p) was injected to control rat, the GST activity decreased remarkably . However, GE-132 pretreated group, the effect caused by ethacrynic acid was markedly reduced. And activity of ${\gamma}$-glutamylcys- teine synthetase was not changed either by GE-132 treatment , but the activity of glutathione reudctase increased significantly. Decreasing properties of ethacrynic acid decreased level of hepatic glutathione , which was restored to same degree by GE -132 pretreatment . GE-132 protective effect on ethacrynic acid-induced mortality. It is concluded that the efect of GE-132 is partly mediated by increase in hepatic GST activity.
