a GST-catalyzed conjugation of ethacrynic acid; b A conjugate of ethacrynic acid and glucosamine (EAG) reacts with GSH and inhibits GSTs; c Ethacraplatin is a Pt(IV)-complex compound which contains two ethacrynic acid moieties. When exposed to GSTs, this compound inhibits the enzyme and liberates cisplatin; d NBDHEX and its MC3181 derivative are GST inhibitors that bind the enzyme H-site and are conjugated by GSH leading to the formation of a stable σ complex; e Auranofin structure and its inhibitory effect on GSTs; f Ezatiostat (TLK199) is a GSH analogue that exerts its inhibitory effects on GSTs through G-site binding; g Piperlongumine is hydrolized inside cells and forms a conjugate with GSH that exerts inhibition of GST acitivity
