Buthioninsulfoximin (BSO) is a synthetically produced chemical compound that belongs to the amino acids and sulfoximines . BSO acts as an inhibitor of the glutamate cysteine ligase and therefore leads to a decrease in the glutathione level . The compound is used in research to generate oxidative stress and can also be used as a radiosensitizer or to support chemotherapy to lower the resistance of tumors to the treatment.
