Certain phenolics notably naringin, (+/-) catechin, eugenol, vanillin and butylated hydroxyanisole were also found to induce cytosolic glutathione S-transferase activity that stimulated the formation of specific aflatoxin B1-glutathione conjugate.

Bioassay-directed fractionation of clove terpenes from the plant Eugenia caryophyllata has led to the isolation of the following five active known compounds: beta-caryophyllene [1], beta-caryophyllene oxide [2], alpha-humulene [3], alpha-humulene epoxide I [4], and eugenol [5].
These compounds showed significant activity as inducers of the detoxifying enzyme glutathione S-transferase in the mouse liver and small intestine.

An overall decrease in drug-metabolizing enzymes, namely NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, NADH-cytochrome reductase, coumarin hydroxylase, 7-ethoxy coumarin-O-deethylase, UDP-glucuronyltransferase and glutathione-S-transferase, was observed with CCl4 intoxication, with a subsequent decrease in cytochrome P450 and cytochrome b5 content.

The present study was designed to elucidate the mechanistic inhibitory efficacy of clocimum (an eugenol rich variety of Ocimum gratissimum; Labiatae) oil on murine skin papillomagensis.
Significant (P < 0.01) elevation in the hepatic levels of glutathione S-transferase (GST), sulfhydryl (-SH) and cytochrome b5 (Cyt. b5) was observed by the respective topical treatment of clocimum oil.

Eugenol, for instance, lowers GST activity in man.
Using the important class of the glutathione S-transferase (GST) as an example, the various phenotypic and genetic origins of interindividual variation are described.
