LC-ESI MS and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of the glutathione (GSH) modification by VAS3947. (A,B) Extracted ion current chromatograms and corresponding mass spectra are shown for VAS3947, VAS3947/GSH mixtures at indicated concentrations (20 min incubation), and the cell extracts pretreated with 4 µM VAS3947. (C) HPLC analysis for VAS3947, the oxazole-2-thiol, and VAS3947/GSH mixtures at various concentrations. (D) MS and HPLC analyses indicate that the thiol function of GSH is alkylated by the benzyltriazolopyrimidine moiety of VAS3947, with the oxazole-2-thiol moiety of VAS3947 serving as a leaving group.
