Application


  • Artificial elevation of glutathione contents in salicylic acid-deficient tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi NahG) reduces susceptibility to the powdery mildew pathogen Euoidium longipes.: This study explores the impact of enhanced glutathione levels on resistance to powdery mildew in tobacco plants deficient in salicylic acid, indicating a potential application of R-(−)-2-Oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid in managing plant diseases (Künstler et al., 2020).

Biochem/physiol Actions

The effects of elevated glutathione levels on defence responses to powdery mildew (Euoidium longipes) were investigated in a salicylic acid-deficient tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi NahG) and wild-type cv. Xanthi plants, where salicylic acid (SA) contents are normal. Aqueous solutions

Fatiguing exercise promotes oxidation of intracellular thiols, notably glutathione. Interventions that oppose or reverse thiol oxidation can inhibit fatigue. The reduced cysteine donor l-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylate (OTC) supports glutathione synthesis and is approved for use in humans but has not been evaluated

Alcohol abuse and HIV-1 infection frequently coexist, and these individuals are at high risk for serious lung infections and respiratory failure. Although alcohol ingestion and HIV-1 transgene expression have been shown to independently cause oxidative stress and disrupt alveolar epithelial

We have earlier shown that nicotinamide (NIC) and nicotinic acid (NiA) can induce defence-related metabolism in plant cells; e.g. increase the level of glutathione. Here we investigated if NIC and NiA could increase the metal tolerance in metal sensitive clones

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients have a higher incidence of oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, and cardiovascular disease than uninfected individuals. Recent reports have demonstrated that viral proteins upregulate reactive oxygen species, which may contribute to elevated cardiovascular risk in HIV-1
