3'-azido-3'-deoxythimidine (AZT) is glucuronidated by human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B7 (UGT2B7).

Abstract excerpt

3'-Azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT) is frequently prescribed to patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. After absorption, AZT is rapidly metabolized into 3'-azido-3'-deoxy-5'-glucuronylthymidine by UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) enzymes. Using labeled [(14)C]UDP-glucuronic acid and microsomal preparations from human kidney 293 cells stably expressing the different human UGT2B isoenzymes, it was...
