Description

N,N-Bis(2-hydroxyethyl)glycine (BHEG) is an inhibitor of the enzyme glutathione reductase. It is a coordination compound that binds to the active site of this enzyme and prevents its action. BHEG has been shown to inhibit the growth of infectious bacteria such as Shigella dysenteriae and Salmonella typhi.
The total number of atoms in BHEG is 3, which makes it a molecule with coordination geometry. BHEG has been shown to be a polymer composition that can be utilized in analytical methods for determining the rate constant for metal chelate formation and disulfide bond formation with glutathione. Results obtained using these methods have shown high values for glycol ethers, which are related to the inhibition of glutathione reductase by BHEG.
