Enzymic formation of oestrone 3-glucuronide by rabbit-liver microsomes.

چکیده
1. A method for the subcellular fractionation of intestinal mucosa is described. The subcellular fractions were characterized by electron microscopy and by deternining the distributions of cytochrome oxidase and alkaline phosphatase in the subcellular fractions. 2. The subcellular distribution of peptidases hydrolysing L-leucylglycine and glycylglycine has been determined in intestinal mucosa. Most of the peptidase activity was located in the supernatant fraction. The remaining activity was found mainly in the microsomal fraction, with some in the mitochondrial fraction.

Biosynthesis of dobutamine monoglucuronides and glucuronidation of dobutamine by recombinant human UDP-glucuronosyltransferases.
Selected aspects of dobutamine glucuronidation were studied in detail. There are potentially four sites at which dobutamine can be conjugated to glucuronic acid. Three of the four dobutamine monoglucuronides that can be formed were enzymatically synthesized using pig liver microsomes, isolated, and characterized by tandem mass spectrometry, and (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy. Analysis of dobut...

1. Oestrone 3-glucuronide has been identified as the reaction product after incubation of oestrone with a rabbit-liver microsomal preparation, uridine diphosphate glucuronic acid being used as the glucuronic acid donor. The formation of this compound was studied under various experimental conditions. 2. The reaction showed a maximum at pH 8.08-2, and Km for oestrone was found to be 9-7 x 10-5M....
متن کاملIdentification of the rabbit liver UDP-glucuronosyltransferase catalyzing the glucuronidation of 4-ethoxyphenylurea (dulcin).
Dulcin (DL), 4-ethoxyphenylurea, a synthetic chemical about 200 times as sweet as sucrose, has been proposed for use as an artificial sweetener. DL is excreted as a urinary ureido-N-glucuronide after oral administration to rabbits. The phenylurea N-glucuronide is the only ureido conjugate with glucuronic acid known at present; therefore, DL is interesting as a probe to search for new functions ...
متن کاملRegioselective glucuronidation of denopamine: marked species differences and identification of human udp-glucuronosyltransferase isoform.
Denopamine is one of the oral beta(1)-adrenoceptor-selective partial agonists. Denopamine glucuronide is the most abundant metabolite in human, rat, and dog urine when administered orally. Species differences in denopamine glucuronidation were investigated with liver microsomes obtained from humans and experimental animals. In rat and rabbit, only the phenolic glucuronide was detected, whereas ...
متن کاملHepatic glucuronidation of resveratrol: interspecies comparison of enzyme kinetic profiles in human, mouse, rat, and dog.
The enzyme kinetic profiles of the formation of resveratrol-3-O-glucuronide (R3G) and resveratrol-4'-O-glucuronide (R4'G) by liver microsomes from humans, dogs, and rodents were investigated. Glucuronidation by human and dog liver microsomes to R3G and R4'G occurred for about 65% of applied resveratrol, and was significantly reduced to 10% when substrate concentration was increased 10-fold. In ...
