Property: Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide with a gamma peptide linkage between the amine group of cysteine (which is attached by normal peptide linkage to a glycine) and the carboxyl group of the glutamate side-chain. It is an antioxidant, preventing damage to important cellular components caused by reactive oxygen species such as free radicals and peroxides.

Glutathione (CAS NO.70-18-8) is a biological and chemical reagents, detoxification drugs which is mainly used for poisoning such as heavy metals, acrylonitrile, fluoride, carbon monoxide and organic solvents. Glutathione can also decrease the concentrations of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-18), neutrophils in lung tissue and increase the level of serum Ca2+ and be useful for the treatment of ANP.
