A method of inhibiting η-glutamyl transpeptidase, (ηGT) with an effective reversible inhibitor is disclosed. Exemplary compounds include L-2-amino-4-4-boronobutanoic acid (ABBA); 6,6-difluoro-5-oxo-t-phosphono-L-norleucine; and 6,6,6-trifluoro-5-oxo-L-norleucine. Included is a method for treating a condition or disease mediated by η-GT, such as condition or disease characterized by increased expression of η-GT. The method also includes treating a condition or disease where renal toxicity results from exposure to environmental, pharmacological, or other xenobiotic agents that form glutathione adducts or conjugates, which are then subsequently degraded in the kidney by η-GT. In some instances, the condition or disease is a neoplasm.
