Samples were dissolved in deuterated dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO-d6) or deuterium oxide (D2O) and analyzed on a 400 MHz or 500 MHz spectrometer.

  • Cys, cysteine or cysteinyl unit of glutathione; Gly, glycinyl unit of glutathione; γ-Glu, γ-glutamyl unit of glutathione.

  • 1-a M-7 was prepared by enzymatic hydrolysis of M-1.

  • 1-b M-14-1 and M-14-2 were assigned as the respective glucuronides of R-(+)- andS-(−)-isomers of toborinone.

  • 1-c G1–5 correspond to the positions of protons for the glucuronic acid portion as shown in fig. 3.

  • 1-d Values denote interference with H2O protons.
