  2. Ethyl glucuronide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethyl_glucuronide

    Ethyl glucuronide (EtG) is a metabolite of ethanol which is formed in the body by glucuronidation following exposure to ethanol, usually from drinking alcoholic beverages.It is used as a biomarker to test for ethanol use and to monitor alcohol abstinence in situations where drinking is prohibited, such as by the military, in alcohol treatment programs, in professional monitoring programs ...

  3. Glucuronic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucuronic_acid

    Ethyl glucuronide and ethyl sulfate are excreted in urine as metabolites of ethanol and are used to monitor alcohol use. [8] Glucuronic acid and gluconic acid are fermentation products in Kombucha tea. [9] Glucuronic acid is a precursor of ascorbic acid (vitamin C, formerly called L-hexuronic acid). Ascorbate can be biosynthesized by higher ...

  4. Glucuronidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucuronidation

    Decreased clearance found for codeine-6-glucuronide, and decreased unbound clearance for oxazepam in the very elderly. Sex: Females: ↓: Clearance higher in males for paracetamol, oxazepam, temazepam, and propranolol. Possible additive role with CYP1A2 resulting in higher clozapine and olanzapine concentrations in females Males: ↑ Body ...

  5. Ethyl sulfate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethyl_sulfate

    Ethyl sulfate can be produced in a laboratory setting by reacting ethanol with sulfuric acid under a gentle boil, while keeping the reaction below 140 °C. The sulfuric acid must be added dropwise or the reaction must be actively cooled because the reaction itself is highly exothermic. CH 3 CH 2 OH + H 2 SO 4 → CH 3 CH 2 OSO 3 H + H 2 O

  6. Glucuronide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucuronide

    A glucuronide, also known as glucuronoside, is any substance produced by linking glucuronic acid to another substance via a glycosidic bond. [1] The glucuronides belong to the glycosides . Glucuronidation , the conversion of chemical compounds to glucuronides, is a method that animals use to assist in the excretion of toxic substances, drugs or ...

  7. Glucuronosyltransferase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucuronosyltransferase

    The glucuronidation reaction consists of the transfer of the glucuronosyl group from uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronic acid (UDPGA) to substrate molecules that contain oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur or carboxyl functional groups. [5] The resulting glucuronide is more polar (e.g

  8. Triclosan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triclosan

    Once absorbed, triclosan is metabolized by humans primarily through conjugation reactions into glucuronide and sulfate conjugates that are excreted in feces and urine. Pharmacokinetic studies demonstrate that triclosan sulfate and glucuronide may be formed in the liver at approximately equal rates at the environmentally relevant concentration ...

  9. Roussin's red salt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roussin's_red_salt

    The salt can be prepared by the reaction of sulfide salts with iron nitrosyl halides: [7] Fe 2 I 2 (NO) 4 + 2Li 2 S → Li 2 Fe 2 S 2 (NO) 4 + 2LiI Another way to obtain Roussin's red salt is to alkalize a solution of the related compound Roussin's black salt , K[Fe 4 S 3 (NO) 7 ], using a suitable base :
