Glutathione (GSH) conjugates inhibit enzymes that are involved in drug metabolism and drug resistance, but their cellular uptake is very low. To improve membrane-permeability, we synthesized a novel GSH-conjugate analogue with a tetrazole carboxylate isostere at the glycine position. Introduction of the tetrazole decreases inhibitory potency towards CDNB conjugation by glutathione S-transferase. However, the tetrazole derivative inhibited 2-bromoisovalerylurea conjugation in rat liver cytosol, as well as in hepatocytes.

Osteosarcoma is a common malignant tumor found in adolescents, characterized by a high metastatic potential and poor prognosis, but it is sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Ferroptosis is a novel form of regulated cell death induced by excessive iron accumulation, leading to lipid peroxidation that results in cellular dysfunction and death. Naringenin is a flavonoid known for its anti-cancer properties, yet its role in osteosarcoma has not been thoroughly studied.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a major health burden in Africa. Although TB is treatable, anti-TB drugs are associated with adverse drug reactions (ADRs), which are partly attributed to pharmacogenetic variation. The distribution of star alleles (haplotypes) influencing anti-TB drug metabolism is unknown in many African populations.

Helminth parasites have long adapted to survive hostile host environments and can likely adapt against the chemical anthelmintic challenge. One proposed adaptation route is via Phase I and II xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes (XMEs). For successful Helminth pharmacotherapy discovery programs, a working understanding of Helminth-derived chemical detoxification, the Helminth detoxome, is a must.

Male reproductive disorders are responsible for approximately 50% of infertility cases. Bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a common environmental pollutant known for its reproductive toxicity. Oxidative stress is a key mechanism in response to DEHP exposure.

Chemotherapy remains the primary treatment modality for breast cancer (BCa) patients. However, chemoresistance commonly arises in clinical settings, contributing to poor prognosis. The development of chemoresistance is a dynamic and complex process involving the activation of oncogenes and inactivation of tumor suppressor genes.
