It is shown that the intracellular glutathione (GSH) concentration of neuroblastoma-2a cells in culture increases with a maximum at 24 h after starting treatment with 1-(5-isoquinolinylsulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H7), an inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC). Other inhibitors of this and other protein kinases, e.g. sphingosine, staurosporine, and HA 1004, at the concentrations tested, had a less marked or negligible effect on intracellular GSH concentration. 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) was also tested and showed no significant effect 24 h after addition.
