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 ...

Synthesis and Evaluation of the Anti-Oxidant Capacity of Curcumin Glucuronides, the Major Curcumin Metabolites

Antioxidants, 2015
Curcumin metabolites namely curcumin monoglucuronide and curcumin diglucuronide were synthesized using an alternative synthetic approach. The anti-oxidant potential of these curcumin glucuronides was compared with that of curcumin using DPPH scavenging ...

Adjunct Fenofibrate Up‐regulates Bile Acid Glucuronidation and Improves Treatment Response For Patients With Cholestasis

Hepatology Communications, 2021
Accumulation of cytotoxic bile acids (BAs) during cholestasis can result in liver failure. Glucuronidation, a phase II metabolism pathway responsible for BA detoxification, is regulated by peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor alpha (PPARα).

Glucuronides in the gut: Sugar-driven symbioses between microbe and host

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2017
The intestinal milieu is astonishingly complex and home to a constantly changing mixture of small and large molecules, along with an abundance of bacteria, viral particles, and eukaryotic cells.

Tethered Indoxyl-Glucuronides for Enzymatically Triggered Cross-Linking

Molecules, 2023
Indoxyl-glucuronides, upon treatment with β-glucuronidase under physiological conditions, are well known to afford the corresponding indigoid dye via oxidative dimerization.

Human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase UGT1A4 forms tertiary N-glucuronides predominately with the energetically less favored tautomer of substituted 1H-indazole (benzpyrazole)

Journal of Analytical Science and Technology, 2017
Background Human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase UGT1A4 is reported to convert a range of tertiary amine substrates to the respective quaternary glucuronides. In this study, we report on the in vitro glucuronidation of a substituted 1H-indazole (benzpyrazole)

Intestinal Glucuronidation, Prior to Hepatic Glucuronidation, Plays an Important Role in the Low Circulating Levels of Calycosin

Separations, 2022
Calycosin is a dietary flavonoid with favorable activities, which seems to be inconsistent with its low circulating levels in vivo. To address this issue, we developed a strategy to understand calycosin distribution by integrating qualitative and ...

Occurrence of bile alcohol glucuronides in bile of patients with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis

Journal of Lipid Research, 1980
Using thin-layer chromatography, bile alcohol glucuronides were found with taurine- and glycine-conjugated bile acids in the bile of four patients with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis.

Human Efflux Transport of Testosterone, Epitestosterone and Other Androgen Glucuronides.

Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2019
Several drug-metabolizing enzymes are known to control androgen homeostasis in humans. UDP-glucuronosyltransferases convert androgens to glucuronide conjugates in the liver and intestine, which enables subsequent elimination of these conjugated androgens

Phenelzine and Amoxapine Inhibit Tyramine and d-Glucuronic Acid Catabolism in Clinically Significant Salmonella in A Serotype-Independent Manner

Pathogens, 2021
Non-typhoidal Salmonella ingeniously scavenges energy for growth from tyramine (TYR) and d-glucuronic acid (DGA), both of which occur in the host as the metabolic byproducts of the gut microbial metabolism. A critical first step in energy scavenging from
