Acyl (ester) glucuronide conjugate

Acyl (ester) glucuronide conjugate. Species, exposure and limitations are retained in each linked claim.

1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

Where it participates (unsigned role)

  1. A mean of 63 plus or minus 6% of an administered dose of R(-)-ibuprofen was stereospecifically inverted to the S(+) enantiomer in four healthy male subjects, with no measurable inversion of S(+) to R(-), while the kinetics of the individual enantiomers were altered by concurrent administration of the respective optical antipode, likely reflecting an interaction at plasma protein binding sites, and formation of ester glucuronide conjugates stereoselectively favoured the S enantiomer.
