Hetero-oligomer formation of mouse UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 2b1 and 1a1 results in the gain of glucuronidation activity towards morphine, an activity which is absent in homo-oligomers of either UGT
2020, Biochemical and Biophysical Research CommunicationsCitation Excerpt :Animal experiments in this study were approved by the institutional Animal Care and Experiment Committee of Kyushu University (application approval numbers: A26–026, A28-024, and A30-104) and they followed the ARRIVE guidelines. FVB mice (seven-week-old, male) were purchased from CLEA Japan (Tokyo, Japan) and liver microsomes were prepared by differential centrifugation described elsewhere [16]. MLM was used as a positive control in immunoblotting and Ugt assays.

2015, Journal of Advanced ResearchCitation Excerpt :Phenobarbital also induces UDP-glucuronosyltransferase in dogs. Oguri et al. demonstrated 3-fold increase in morphine glucuronidation in hepatic microsomes obtained from dogs treated with phenobarbital [21]. As NSAIDs were mainly eliminated from the body by biotransformation via glucuronidation, we, therefore, examined the effects of the phenobarbital treatment (5 mg/kg/day p.o., bid) on pharmacokinetics of carprofen after intravenous and oral administration in dogs.

2002, Biochemical PharmacologyCitation Excerpt :ii) Morphine UGT activities were studied since a large database exists about the pharmacokinetics and glucuronidation of this important drug [18]. A canine phenobarbital-inducible morphine UGT has previously been purified [19]. In addition to formation of the inactive morphine-3-glucuronide (M3G), morphine is also conjugated to morphine-6-glucuronide (M6G) which is a more potent analgesic than morphine itself [20,21].
