Abstract
A preparation of glutathione is proposed, in which the cystinyl residue is at one stage only partially reduced, to uncover the basic groups necessary for ensuing condensation, but without cleavage of the disulphide linkage. This affords an economy of intermediate steps but it does not provide a substantial increase in over-all yield of the hormone.Keywords
