1. Recent studies show that glutathione conjugate formation is an important bioactivation mechanism for several groups of compounds with implications for organ-selective toxicity and carcinogenicity.2. Vicinal dihaloalkanes, such as 1,2-dihaloethanes, yield S-(2-haloalkyl)glutathione conjugates that give rise to highly electrophilic episulphonium ions, which are involved in the cytotoxicity and mutagenicity of 1,2-dihaloethanes.3. Nephrotoxic haloalkenes are metabolized to S-(haloalkenyl)- or S-(haloalkyl)-glutathione conjugates which, after metabolism to the corresponding cysteine conjugates, are bioactivated by renal cysteine conjugate beta-lyase to yield cytotoxic or mutagenic metabolites.4. Finally, hepatic glutathione conjugate formation with hydroquinones and aminophenols yields conjugates that are directed to gamma-glutamyltransferase-rich tissues, such as the kidney, where they undergo alkylation or redox cycling reactions, or both, that cause organ-selective damage.
