about recent application data generated by Sigma R&D to optimize hydrolysis for different drug classes using enzymes from different sources and the use of a chromatographicaly purified enzyme to reduce the effect of esterase activity resulting in conversion of 6-MAM to Morphine

Biochem/physiol Actions

Used for the hydrolysis of glucuronide conjugates in urinary metabolite analysis

Quality

Many β-glucuronidases derived from mollusks also contain sulfatase activity.

Unit Definition

One Sigma or modified Fishman unit will liberate 1.0 μg of phenolphthalein from phenolphthalein glucuronide per hr at 37 °C at pH 5.0 (30 min assay).
Sulfatase Unit Definition: One unit of sulfatase will hydrolyze 1.0 μmole p-nitrocatechol sulfate per hr at pH 5.0 at 37 °C.

Evaluation of Different Enzymes on Hydrolysis Efficiencies of Glucuronide Drug Metabolites in Urine

β-glucuronidase (GUS) enzymes are utilized to hydrolyze glucuronide (gluc) drug metabolites to the parent drug, facilitating analysis by LC-MS/MS.

Protocols

Enzymatic Assay of ß-Glucuronidase (EC 3.2.1.31) from Helix Pomatia and Bovine Liver

Enzymatic Assay of ß-Glucuronidase (EC 3.2.1.31) from Helix Pomatia and Bovine Liver. This procedure applies to all b-Glucuronidase products that are derived from Helix Pomatia and Bovine Liver. It is the responsibility of trained Analytical Services laboratory personnel to follow this procedure as written.

Using UHPLC/MS (TOF) for Detection of Drugs and Metabolites in Urine Following Optimized Enzymatic Hydrolysis Conditions

To optimize hydrolysis using β-glucuronidase, factors such as incubation time, temperature, hydrolysis pH, enzyme source, and enzyme concentration must be evaluated for each glucuronide metabolite to be analyzed.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
