17β-Estradiol up-regulates UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A9 expression via estrogen receptor α
UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A9 (UGT1A9) is a major phase II enzyme responsible for elimination of drugs and endogenous molecules. Clinical data have shown increased elimination of UGT1A9 substrates in pregnant women or oral contraceptive users, but the ...

Insights Into Gut Barrier Dysfunction and Metabolic Alterations in Mycophenolate‐Induced Enteropathy
ABSTRACT Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is a widely used immunosuppressant whose use is often limited by gastrointestinal toxicity. Gut bacterial hydrolysis of liver‐derived MPA glucuronides increases local exposure to MPA, potentially impairing epithelial barrier function and cellular metabolism.

Effects of curcumin analogue, 2, 6-bis (2, 5-dimethoxybenzylidene) cyclohexanone (BDMC33) on the activities of drug-metabolizing enzymes in cultured Caco-2 cell model [PDF]
Poor systemic delivery of curcumin outside the gut due to its rapid metabolism has severely limited its application to many chronic diseases. Previously, our research group synthesized curcumin analogues 2, 6-bis (2, 5-dimethoxybenzylidene) cyclohexanone

In Vitro Model for Hepatotoxicity Studies Based on Primary Human Hepatocyte Cultivation in a Perfused 3D Bioreactor System [PDF]
Accurate prediction of the potential hepatotoxic nature of new pharmaceuticals remains highly challenging. Therefore, novel in vitro models with improved external validity are needed to investigate hepatic metabolism and timely identify any toxicity ...
