glutathione metabolic process

Definition

Target type: biologicalprocess

The chemical reactions and pathways involving glutathione, the tripeptide glutamylcysteinylglycine, which acts as a coenzyme for some enzymes and as an antioxidant in the protection of sulfhydryl groups in enzymes and other proteins; it has a specific role in the reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and oxidized ascorbate, and it participates in the gamma-glutamyl cycle. [ISBN:0198506732]

Glutathione metabolic process is a vital biochemical pathway that encompasses the synthesis, utilization, and degradation of glutathione (GSH), a tripeptide composed of glutamate, cysteine, and glycine. GSH plays a crucial role in cellular defense against oxidative stress, detoxification of harmful substances, and maintenance of redox homeostasis.

The synthesis of GSH occurs in two steps:

1. **Gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase (γ-GCS) catalyzes the condensation of glutamate and cysteine to form γ-glutamylcysteine.** This step is the rate-limiting step in GSH synthesis and is regulated by various factors, including substrate availability, cellular redox state, and signaling pathways.

2. **Glutathione synthetase (GS) adds glycine to γ-glutamylcysteine, resulting in the formation of GSH.** This step is generally considered to be less regulated than the first step.

Once synthesized, GSH participates in a wide range of cellular functions, including:

* **Reactive oxygen species (ROS) detoxification:** GSH acts as a reducing agent, directly scavenging ROS such as superoxide radicals, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl radicals. This detoxification process is mediated by glutathione peroxidases (GPx), which catalyze the reduction of hydrogen peroxide to water using GSH as a reductant.

* **Xenobiotic detoxification:** GSH conjugates with various exogenous compounds, such as drugs, pesticides, and heavy metals, making them more water-soluble and facilitating their excretion. This detoxification process is mediated by glutathione S-transferases (GST), which catalyze the transfer of GSH to electrophilic xenobiotics.

* **Redox homeostasis:** GSH plays a crucial role in maintaining the cellular redox balance by regulating the activity of various redox-sensitive enzymes and signaling pathways. GSH can donate electrons to oxidized molecules, reducing them back to their active forms.

* **Protein function and stability:** GSH protects proteins from oxidative damage, maintains their structure and function, and participates in the folding and unfolding of proteins.

* **Immune function:** GSH supports immune cell function by enhancing the activity of lymphocytes and macrophages, and by modulating cytokine production.

The degradation of GSH is catalyzed by glutathione reductase (GR), which reduces oxidized glutathione (GSSG) back to GSH. However, GSH can also be degraded by other enzymes, including γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT) and dipeptidases.

Disruptions in glutathione metabolism can lead to various pathological conditions, including oxidative stress-related diseases, cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and immune dysfunction. Therefore, maintaining adequate glutathione levels is essential for overall health and well-being.'

sulindacsulindac : A monocarboxylic acid that is 1-benzylidene-1H-indene which is substituted at positions 2, 3, and 5 by methyl, carboxymethyl, and fluorine respectively, and in which the phenyl group of the benzylidene moiety is substituted at the para position by a methylsulfinyl group. It is a prodrug for the corresponding sulfide, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, used particularly in the treatment of acute and chronic inflammatory conditions.

Sulindac: A sulfinylindene derivative prodrug whose sulfinyl moiety is converted in vivo to an active NSAID analgesic. Specifically, the prodrug is converted by liver enzymes to a sulfide which is excreted in the bile and then reabsorbed from the intestine. This helps to maintain constant blood levels with reduced gastrointestinal side effects.

rifampinRifampin: A semisynthetic antibiotic produced from Streptomyces mediterranei. It has a broad antibacterial spectrum, including activity against several forms of Mycobacterium. In susceptible organisms it inhibits DNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity by forming a stable complex with the enzyme. It thus suppresses the initiation of RNA synthesis. Rifampin is bactericidal, and acts on both intracellular and extracellular organisms. (From Gilman et al., Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 9th ed, p1160)cyclic ketal;
