Application

Uridine 5′-diphosphoglucuronic acid ammonium salt has been used in the initiation of UDP-glucuronosyl transferase (UDGPT) assay towards 14C-testosterone in the liver S9 protein. It is suitable for use in UDGPT assay.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Uridine 5′-diphosphoglucuronic acid (UDGPA) is the glucuronic acid donor for the conjugation of bilirubin in the endoplasmic recticulum.

General description

Uridine 5′-diphosphoglucuronic acid (UDPGA) is a cofactor, synthesized from UDPglucose and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) intracellularly by the catalytic activity of UDPglucose dehydrogenase. The concentration of UDPGA in a number of liver preparations ranges from 0.3-0.5 mM.

After being incubated with animal and human liver microsomes, metabolites of phase I and II were investigated. A comparison was performed by ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole/time-of-flight coupled to mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q/TOF). Consequently, a total of four phase I metabolites and

UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT)-mediated metabolism is possibly the most important conjugation reaction for marketed drugs. However, there are currently no generally accepted standard incubation conditions for UGT microsomal assays, and substantial differences in experimental design and methodology between laboratories hinder cross-study comparison
