Although significant progress has been made in our understanding of sickle cell disease (SCD) and in the development of new therapies, many questions are still unanswered, and a cure remains elusive. This is particularly evident in the clinical heterogeneity of the disease. Studies have shown the importance of high hemoglobin F determinants and alpha-thalassemia as modifiers of disease severity...

Glucuronidation is an important detoxification pathway for organic pollutants in fish. We report here the isolation and characterisation of UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT) genes from the closely related marine flatfish, plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) and flounder (Platichthys flesus). The deduced amino acid sequences share greater similarity with mammalian UGT1 family genes than UGT2 genes (...

A method for the direct determination of imipramine N-glucuronidation in human liver microsomes by high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection was developed. Imipramine was incubated with human liver microsomes and UDP-glucuronic acid. The Eadie-Hofstee plots of imipramine N-glucuronidation in human liver microsomes were biphasic. For the high-affinity component, the K(m) was 97.2 ...

Different pharmacokinetic properties have been observed for the two enantiomers of the entactogen 3,4-methylendioxy-methamphetamine, most probably a result of enantioselective metabolism. The aim of the present work was to study the involvement of human UDP-glucuronyltransferase (UGT) isoforms in the glucuronidation of the enantiomers of its major metabolite 4-hydroxy-3-methoxymethamphetamine (...

Xenoestrogens, such as bisphenol A and diethylstilbestrol, are glucuronidated by an isoform of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase named UGT2B1 in the livers of adult male rats. In this study, we found that nonylphenol and octylphenol are also conjugated with glucuronic acid by adult rat liver microsomes. Although UDP-glucuronosyltransferase activities toward these xenoestrogens were not detected in th...

Bilirubin glucuronoside glucuronosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.95) converts bilirubin monoglucuronide to bilirubin diglucuronide and is concentrated in plasma membrane-enriched fractions of rat liver homogenates. The enzyme was purified 2,000-fold to homogeneity from rat liver. The p1 of the enzyme is 7.9 + 0.2. The enzyme has a molecular weight of 160,000 and is an oligomer of 28,000 dalton subunit...

Edaravone was launched in Japan in 2001 and was the first neuroprotectant developed for the treatment of acute cerebral infarction. Edaravone is mainly eliminated as glucuronide conjugate in human urine (approximately 70%), but the mechanism involved in the elimination pathway remains unidentified. We investigated the glucuronidation of edaravone in human liver microsomes (HLM) and human kidney...
