    Abstract

    Trypanosomatids are unusual in that a considerable proportion of their intracellular spermidine and glutathione (GSH) is found as the conjugate Ni-glutathionylspermidine (GSH-SPD) and N1-, N8-bis-(glutathionyl)spermidine (T[SH]2)1. The latter compound is unique to the parasitic and free-living Trypanosomatidae and has been assigned the trivial name trypano-thione2.
