Zomepirac [ZP, 5-(chlorobenzoyl)-1,4-dimethylpyrrole-2-acetic acid] was withdrawn from the market because of unpredictable allergic reactions that may have been caused by ZP-protein adducts formed by reaction of the reactive acyl glucuronide of ZP (ZP-O-G) with endogenous proteins. To test the hypothesis

This article systematically examines government regulation of medicines in the U.K. and the U.S. with specific reference to carcinogenic risk assessment. By taking four non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as case studies, it is argued that there have been inconsistencies between

The covalent binding of drugs or their metabolites to proteins is of increasing interest in the investigation of the toxicity of these compounds. Recent attention on biological consequences of protein adduct formation with carboxylate drugs, derived via their reactive acyl
G R Cannell et al.

Many nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) which have antiproliferative activity in colon cancer cells are carboxylate compounds forming acyl glucuronide metabolites. Acyl glucuronides are potentially reactive, able to hydrolyse, rearrange into isomers, and covalently modify proteins under physiological conditions. This study
M J Bailey et al.
Chemical research in toxicology, 9(3), 659-666 (1996-04-01)
Carboxylate drugs usually form acyl glucuronide conjugates as major metabolites. These electrophilic metabolites are reactive, capable of undergoing hydrolysis, rearrangement, and covalent binding reactions to proteins. The last-mentioned property has the potential to initiate immune and other toxic responses in
