Glucuronide formation can be a major avenue of drug metabolism. O-Glucuronidation enhances the bile/plasma ratio of a metabolite relative to the parent drug. However, glucuronides are more polar and ionic than the parent drug, and while most glucuronides are inactive, they are not always lower in toxicity or inactivation.
BMO kits for for rapid metabolite synthesis
BMO Kits are a revolutionary way to screen, optimize and produce metabolites directly from drug candidates. The kit exploits an optimized panel of catalytic chemical reaction conditions using organometallic catalysts in a multi-well parallel format. I already introduced Phase I kits in January on this blog (here's the link to that post...). Today, I am glad to talk about the new O-Glucuronidation Kit.
How does it work? What are the benefits? Just read on and get in contact if you have any questions!
