Product Information

Glutathione-monoisopropyl ester (reduced) is a derivative of glutathione. It is an antioxidant that prevents the oxidation of other molecules and thus protects cells from damage by reactive oxygen species and free radicals. Glutathione-monoisopropyl ester (reduced) has been shown to be effective in reducing inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. It has also been used as an experimental model for various types of metabolic disorders, including diabetic neuropathy and epidermal growth factor.
Glutathione-monoisopropyl ester (reduced) can be synthesized by reacting glutathione with propylene oxide in the presence of a base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. The resulting product contains one less oxygen atom than the original glutathione molecule, making it reduced.
