Chromatographic determination of glutathione disulfide (GSSG) without any preliminary reduction has been presented using GSSG derivatization by p-hydroxymercuribenzoate (pHMB) in strong alkaline medium followed by the determination of GS-pHMB complex by reversed phase chromatography coupled to chemical vapour generation and atomic fluorescence detector (RPC-CVGAFS). A detection limit of 35 nM for GSSG (corresponding to 1.8 pmol) detected as GS-pHMB species was achieved based on a signal-to-noise ratio of 3 in buffer and in blood. The proposed method was applied to the determination of GSSG in whole blood and validated by the classical determination of GSSG by derivatization after reduction with dithiothreitol (DTT).

Cysteine and glutathione can be applied as therapeutic targets in civilization diseases such as diabetes mellitus and cancers. On the other hand, an elevated concentration of homocysteine, and its metabolites such as homocysteine thiolactone and Nɛ-homocysteinyllysine result in health problems and has been indicated as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and accelerated atherosclerosis. This work describes the first simplified HPLC-UV method that allows simultaneous determination of Nɛ-homocysteinyllysine isopeptide, cysteine, glutathione and homocysteine in human plasma.

Background: Reduced and oxidized glutathione play an important role for the intracellular detoxification of reactive oxygen species. The iron-dependent formation of such reactive oxygen species in conjunction with the inhibition of the redox-balancing enzyme glutathione peroxidase 4 underlie an imbalance in the cellular redox state, thereby resulting in a non-apoptotic form of cell death, defined as ferroptosis, which is relevant in several pathologies.
Methods: Here we present a rapid ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) based method providing the accurate quantification of 12 glutathione pathway metabolites after in situ derivatization with N-Ethylmaleimide (NEM).

Folic acid (FA) has been widely engineered to promote the targeted delivery of FA-modified nanoparticles (NPs) by recognizing the folate receptor α (FRα). However, the efficacy of FA-targeted therapy significantly varied with the abundance of FRα and natural immunoglobulin levels in different tumors. Therefore, a sequential therapy of dexamethasone (Dex)-induced FRα amplification and immunosuppression combined with FA-functionalized doxorubicin (DOX) micelles to synergistically suppress tumor proliferation was proposed in this study.

The glutathione (GSH)-to-glutathione disulfide (GSSG) ratio is an essential node contributing to intracellular redox status. GSH/GSSG determination in whole blood can be accomplished by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) after the derivatization of GSH with -ethylmaleimide (NEM). While this is feasible in a laboratory environment, its application in the clinical scenario is cumbersome and therefore ranges reported in similar populations differ noticeably.
