2-Bromo-(diglutathion-Syl)hydroquinone (2-Br-[diGSyl]HQ) is a more potent nephrotoxicant than any of three mono-substituted isomers. The reason for this differential toxicity is unknown. We now report that the rate of uptake of 2-Br-(diGSyl)HQ, 2-Br-3-(GSyl)HQ, 2-Br-5-(GSyl)-HQ and 2-Br-6(GSyl)HQ by kidney slices was 2.4
