Biochem/physiol Actions
β-Glucuronidase, a member of the 2 glycosyl hydrolase family, is involved in the hydrolysis of β-glucuronic acid residues from the non-reducing termini of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). β-Glucuronidase catalyzes the complete hydrolysis of urinary conjugates. β-Glucuronidase serves as a possible candidate enzyme for gene-mediated enzyme prodrug therapy for glucuronide prodrugs. β-glucuronidase-responsive albumin binding prodrugs might be an effective therapeutic practice for treating solid tumors.
Warning
Toxicity: Standard Handling (A)
Unit Definition
One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that will liberate 1.0 µg phenolphthalein from phenolphthalein glucuronide per h at 37°C, pH 5.0.
Physical form
A 65% saturated ammonium sulfate suspension.
Reconstitution
Following reconstitution, store in refrigerator (4°C). Stock solutions are stable for up to 3 months at 4°C.

Gene-mediated enzyme prodrug therapy (GDEPT) seeks to increase the therapeutic index of anti-neoplastic agents by promoting selective activation of relatively nontoxic drug derivatives at sites of specific enzyme expression. Glucuronide prodrugs are attractive for GDEPT due to their low toxicity

The design of novel antitumor agents allowing the destruction of malignant cells while sparing healthy tissues is one of the major challenges in medicinal chemistry. In this context, the use of non-toxic prodrugs programmed to be selectively activated by beta-glucuronidase

Human exposure to consumer and personal care products chemicals such as phenols, including parabens and other antimicrobial agents, can be assessed through biomonitoring by quantifying urinary concentrations of the parent chemical or its metabolites, often after hydrolysis of phase II
