Investigation of the inhibitory potential of secondary metabolites isolated from Fernandoa adenophylla against Beta-glucuronidase via molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation studies.

PLoS ONE
Elevated β-glucuronidase activity is associated with the production of toxic metabolites that contribute to tumor development and other diseases. Inhibiting this enzyme may offer therapeutic potential, including the prevention of colonic carcinogenesis ...

Extracellularly Activatable Conjugates of RGD Peptidomimetics and Cryptophycin for αVβ3‐Targeted Cancer Therapy

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Integrin αVβ3‐targeting small‐molecule drug conjugates (SMDCs) were synthesized by conjugating a cryptophycin payload through a neutrophil elastase‐cleavable NPV‐PABC linker. RGD peptidomimetic and linker epimers served as controls for targeting and enzymatic cleavage, and the resulting conjugates displayed subnanomolar cytotoxicity in vitro.

Characterization of Lysosomal Hydrolases and Transporters and Their Age‐Dependent Variability: Relevance to Drug Metabolism and Transport of Small Molecule and Biologic Drugs

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Lysosomes play a key role in the accumulation, catabolism, and transport of endogenous and exogenous metabolites and proteins and are involved in drug metabolism and prodrug activation. However, the protein abundance and interindividual variability of lysosomal drug‐metabolizing enzymes and transporters (DMETs) remain underexplored.

Incidence of Escherichia coli  - Glucuronidase Positive on Goat Milk

Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca: Agriculture, 2016
Papers on beta- glucuronidase sensitivity and specificity for identifying Escherichia coli in sources of environment, food, water, etc. have been published since 1976. In this study we conducted a review of the incidence of E.

Elimination Profile of Deflazacort and Metabolites in Urine and Plasma Following Oral Administration: Relevance to Sports Drug Testing

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
Results confirm that the MRL of 30 ng/mL for 21‐desacetyl‐deflazacort together with a 3‐day washout period is an appropriated strategy to detect oral deflazacort administration in sport competition. ABSTRACT Deflazacort (DEF) is a glucocorticoid prohibited in sports competitions when orally administered.

Mitochondrial dysfunction leads to deconjugation of quercetin glucuronides in inflammatory macrophages. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Dietary flavonoids, such as quercetin, have long been recognized to protect blood vessels from atherogenic inflammation by yet unknown mechanisms. We have previously discovered the specific localization of quercetin-3-O-glucuronide (Q3GA), a phase II ...

Investigation of the In Vitro and In Vivo Metabolism and μ‐Opioid Receptor Affinity of the Nitazene N‐Pyrrolidino Fluetonitazene

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
Eight metabolites for N‐pyrrolidino fluetonitazene were identified in vitro, three of which (M2, M6 and M8) were present in an authentic urine sample. M2 was the most abundant in vivo metabolite and is a common marker metabolite of nitazepyne‐type substances.

Phase I Metabolism of Novel Phencyclidine Derivative 3‐Cl‐PCP: In Vitro Studies With Pooled Human Liver Microsomes and Investigation of a Post‐Mortem Case

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
A fatal 3‐chloro‐phencyclidine (3‐Cl‐PCP) intoxication was investigated by analyzing postmortem samples and a pooled human liver microsomes assay. Tentative metabolite identification was performed by liquid chromatography‐quadrupole time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (LC‐QTOF‐MS). Seven phase I metabolites were identified.
