The bacteriostatic action of 4-nitroquinoline-n-oxide (4-NQO) for Lactobacillus casei is substantially reversed by d-and l-cysteine, glutathione, and 2,2-dihydroxy-1,4-dithiolbutane (dithioerythritol). The action appears to involve a chemical reaction between carbon atom 4 of 4-NQO and nucleophilic centers, such as -SH groups, located on essential cell constituents. The evidence presented indicates that the protective effect of d- and l-cysteine, glutathione, and dithioerythritol against the action involves reactions between 4-NQO and -SH compounds.
