Laboratory batch tests indicate that addition of sterile municipal sewage biosolids to clay soil from four depths increases the numbers of Escherichia coli isolates recoverable in EC-MUG broth (EC broth with 4-methylumbelliferyl-beta-glucuronide). This effect was most marked for the deeper

A promising development in tumor therapy is the application of non-toxic prodrugs from which the active cytostatic is released by endogenous enzymes such as beta-glucuronidase (beta-gluc). Regulation of beta-gluc expression is one crucial factor modulating bioactivation of prodrugs. Recent experiments

The enzymatic defect in Pompe disease is insufficient lysosomal acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) activity which leads to lysosomal glycogen accumulation. We recently introduced a simple and reliable method to measure GAA activity in dried blood spots using Acarbose, a highly selective

Propofol O-glucuronidation has been used as probe reaction to phenotype UGT1A9 activity in human liver, thus a sensitive and specific method for determination of propofol O-glucuronide (PG) is urgently desirable. In the current study, a new LC-ESI-MS method for determination

Standard incubation procedures for carrying out microsomal assays involve the use of less than 1% w/v organic solvents to minimize the potential inhibitory effects of organic solvents on metabolic activity. This presents a practical limitation for poorly soluble xenobiotics, which
