Zomepirac (ZP), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that was withdrawn from use, is metabolized to zomepirac-1-O-acyl-glucuronide (ZP-1-O-G), a chemically reactive conjugate that has been implicated in the toxicity of the drug. In the present studies, we investigated the ability of ZP

Acyl glucuronides are reactive electrophilic metabolites of carboxylate drugs, capable of undergoing hydrolysis, rearrangement and covalent binding reactions with proteins in vivo. Such covalent drug-protein adducts may be prerequisites for certain idiosyncratic immune and toxic responses in susceptible individuals. The

The nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug zomepirac (ZP) is metabolised to a chemically reactive acyl glucuronide conjugate (ZAG) which can form covalent adducts with proteins. In vivo, such adducts could initiate immune or toxic responses. In rats given ZP, the major band

Drug metabolism and disposition: the biological fate of chemicals, 34(1), 145-151 (2005-10-28)
Although zomepirac (ZP) and tolmetin (TM) induce anaphylactic reactions and form reactive acyl glucuronides, a direct link between the two events remains obscure. We report herein that, in addition to acyl glucuronidation, both drugs are subject to oxidative bioactivation. Following
M J Bailey et al.
Journal of pharmacological and toxicological methods, 41(1), 27-32 (1999-10-03)
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
