An Inhibitor of Glutathione S-Transferase Omega 1 that Selectively Targets Apoptotic Cells

On (cell) suicide watch: The increased permeability of apoptotic cells was used to identify a peptide‐based, covalent inhibitor (NJP2) for glutathione S‐transferase omega (GSTO1) that is highly selective for apoptotic cells, with no inhibition of healthy cells (see scheme). This apoptosis‐specific p...

Zusammenfassung:On (cell) suicide watch: The increased permeability of apoptotic cells was used to identify a peptide‐based, covalent inhibitor (NJP2) for glutathione S‐transferase omega (GSTO1) that is highly selective for apoptotic cells, with no inhibition of healthy cells (see scheme). This apoptosis‐specific peptide could also be used for imaging programmed cell death.
