Popis: In a search towards the inhibitors/stimulators of filarial glutathione-S-transferase(s) (GST(s)), the major detoxification enzymes, a total of 335 compounds belonging to three major chemical classes were looked for their effect on soluble filarial GST(s). Among a total of 10 diglycosylated diaminoalkanes (DGDA), 4 showed more than 50% stimulatory effect, among 10 glycosylated hydroxamic acids, 2 showed more than 50% stimulatory effect and among 4 glycopeptides, 3 showed more than 50% stimulatory effect. Among a total of 38 glycosyl ureas, 2 showed more than 50% inhibitory effect. Among a total of 66 glycosyl ureas/ thioureas and glycopeptidyl ureas, 3 showed more than 50% stimulatory effect whereas 2 showed more than 50% inhibitory effect. Among a total of 59 C-nucleosides/ S-containing nucleosides, 24 showed more than 50% stimulatory effect.
