Abstract excerpt
The predominant metabolic pathway of gemcabene in humans is glucuronidation. The principal human UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) involved in the glucuronidation of gemcabene were determined in this study. Glucuronidation of gemcabene was catalyzed by recombinant UGT1A3, recombinant UGT2B7, and recombinant UGT2B17, as well as by human liver microsomes (HLM). Gemcabene glucuronidation in recombinant UGTs and...
