Inhibition of 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) glucuronidation by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in human liver microsomes and recombinant UDP-glucuronosyltransferase enzymes.

Abstract excerpt

20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) is an arachidonic acid metabolite which is known to increase platelet aggregation and cardiovascular risk. In this study, nine non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) selected by chemical structures were screened to determine their effects on the glucuronidation of 20-HETE using human liver microsomes (HLMs). Then, the combined effects of the selected NSAID and...
