Cupric Chloride is a transition metal found in a variety of supplements and vitamins, including intravenous solutions for total parenteral nutrition (TPN).
- Mechanism
- Curator reviewed
The in vitro interaction of organic copper compounds with rat liver glutathione S-transferases was studied with reduced glutathione and 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene as substrates. Both organic and inorganic copper are spontaneously conjugated with glutathione, but interact with glutathione S-transferase by direct binding to these proteins.
