Inhibitory Activity of Bioactive Phloroglucinols from the Rhizomes of Dryopteris crassirhizoma on Escherichia coli β-Glucuronidase: Kinetic Analysis and Molecular Docking Studies

Metabolites, 2022
Phloroglucinols—one of the major secondary metabolites in Dryopteris crassirhizoma—exhibit various pharmacological effects, such as antiviral, antioxidant, and antidiabetic activities. This study evaluated 30 phloroglucinols isolated from the rhizomes of

Deconjugation Kinetics of Glucuronidated Phase II Flavonoid Metabolites by B-glucuronidase from Neutrophils [PDF]

, 2010
Flavonoids are inactivated by phase II metabolism and occur in the body as glucuronides. Mammalian ß-glucuronidase released from neutrophils at inflammatory sites may be able to deconjugate and thus activate flavonoid glucuronides.

Relationships between levels of membrane-bound glucuronidase and the associated protein egasyn in mouse tissues. [PDF]

, 1977
Mouse beta-glucuronidase has a dual intracellular localization, being present in both endoplasmic reticulum and lysosomes of several tissues. Previous studies demonstrated that the protein egasyn is complexed with microsomal but not lysosomal ...
