Abstract:
A method of inhibiting a glutathione S-transferase enzyme in an plant cell, comprising contacting said plant cell with an amount of a compound of the formula: ##STR5## in which: Ar is an aryl group;R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 :a) together form a double bond between carbon atoms 1 and 2;b) together form an epoxy group between carbon atoms 1 and 2: orc) are the same or different and are independently selected from the group consisting of H, OH, glutathione thioether, glutathione-S-oxide thioether, and glutathione-S, S-dioxide thioether;R.sup.3 is selected from the group consisting of H, OH, glutathione thioether, glutathione-S-oxide thioether, and glutathione-S,S-dioxide thioether; andY is a haloenol lactone,wherein said amount is effective for inhibiting a glutathione S-transferase in the plant cell.
