Ref. #: 1224DC
S-N-Hydroxy N-Methyl Carbamoyl Glutathione [glycyl]-0-
ethyl Ester
.
This invention is a novel chemotherapeutic approach to cancer treatment
that is based on a metabolic pathway that is dramatically different between .
cancer cells and normal cells has been proposed. The method involves
inducing higher steady-state concentrations of cytotoxic methylglyoxal by
inhibiting the enzymes that catalyze the conversion of methylglyoxal to D-
lactate.

Bioassay for Environmental Quality
.
This invention is a biological, sublethal assay for determining the level of
environmental stresses, such as the presence of chemical pollutants in an .
environment. The technology is based on the detection of elevated rates of
the synthesis of shock proteins that are produced in response to physical,
chemical, or biological stress. This detection can be either a rapid test of a
few proteins or a comprehensive detection of many stress proteins.
