2-Bromo-(diglutathion-Syl)hydroquinone (2-Br-[diGSyl]HQ) is a more potent nephrotoxicant than any of three mono-substituted isomers. The reason for this differential toxicity is unknown. We now report that the rate of uptake of 2-Br-(diGSyl)HQ, 2-Br-3-(GSyl)HQ, 2-Br-5-(GSyl)-HQ and 2-Br-6(GSyl)HQ by kidney slices was 2.4

Because methimazole has antioxidant properties, the effects of methimazole treatment on cephaloridine, S-(1,2-dichlorovinyl)-L-cysteine (DCVC), 2-bromohydroquinone (2-BHQ) and cis-diaminedichloroplatinum (II) (cisplatin)-induced nephrotoxicity were investigated. Rats given cephaloridine (1 g/kg), cisplatin (5 mg/kg), DCVC (100 mg/kg) or 2-BHQ (157 mg/kg) i.p. exhibited

2-Bromohydroquinone (BHQ) plays an important role in bromobenzene-induced nephrotoxicity and is a model toxic hydroquinone. Since BHQ has a quinone nucleus and various quinones have been shown to produce cytotoxicity via oxidative stress, the goal of this study was to
