An NSAID. Circumvents MRP-mediated multidrug resistance. Significantly increases the cytotoxicity of the anthracyclines (doxorubicin, daunorubicin and epirubicin), as well as teniposide, VP-16 and vincristine.

Acyl glucuronide conjugates of acidic drugs are chemically unstable metabolites, able to undergo a number of reactions including covalent binding interactions with proteins. The question of whether any toxicological or immunological responses result from such covalent modification of native proteins
Cataract is the leading cause of blindness worldwide. Epidemiological studies revealed up to a fivefold increased prevalence of cataracts in diabetic subjects. Metabolomics is nowadays frequently implemented to understand pathophysiological processes responsible for disease occurrence and progression. It has also
The Biochemical journal, 311 ( Pt 2), 431-435 (1995-10-15)
Human serum albumins modified by covalently bound tolmetin or zomepirac were synthesized as models for similar products formed in vivo from acyl glucuronides. Activated esters of both drugs were prepared with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodi-imide, and then allowed to react with human serum
Chemical research in toxicology, 18(11), 1729-1736 (2005-11-23)
Zomepirac [ZP, 5-(chlorobenzoyl)-1,4-dimethylpyrrole-2-acetic acid] was withdrawn from the market because of unpredictable allergic reactions that may have been caused by ZP-protein adducts formed by reaction of the reactive acyl glucuronide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
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
Protein-based drug transporters are expressed in Sf9 cells. Understanding the specific mechanisms of tumor cell transporters is an essential aspect of chemotherapeutic drug design.
