Biological Activity

[Description]:

Acetaminophen glucuronide (APAP-glu) is an inactive glucuronide metabolite of Acetaminophen (HY-66005)[1][2]. Acetaminophen is a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor and a potent hepatic N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) inhibitor[3][4].

[In Vitro]

Acetaminophen is metabolized in the liver mainly by glucuronidation and sulfation, thus generating the nontoxic metabolites, Acetaminophen glucuronide (APAP-glu). Acetaminophen glucuronide is a substrate for both canalicular Mrp2 and basolateral Mrp3 in rodents[1].
