OU749

gamma-Glutamyl transferase (GGT) is involved in the transfer of amino acids across the plasma membrane as well as in glutathione metabolism. Serum GGT activity is commonly used as a marker of liver dysfunction and alcohol abuse. It is also useful as a biomarker of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. OU749 is a non-competitive inhibitor of GGT, exhibiting a Ki value of 17.6 µM. It is 150-fold less toxic than the GGT inhibitor acivicin toward dividing cells. OU749 inhibits human GGT 7- to 10-fold more potently than rat or murine GGT and does not inhibit porcine GGT.Formal Name: N-[5-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl]-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl]-benzenesulfonamide.
