## Abstract Glucuronidation is an important pathway in the metabolism of curcumin, but the isoforms of uridine‐5′‐diphosphoglucuronosyltransferase (UGT) involved are not known. Here, we report on the glucuronidation of the three natural curcuminoids and their major phase I metabolites with microsom
Valproic acid glucuronidation kinetics were carried our with three human UGT isoforms: UGT1A6, UGT1A9, and UGT2B7 as well as human liver and kidney microsomes. The glucuronidation of valproic acid was typified by high K(m) values with microsomes and expressed UGTs (2.3-5.2mM). The ability of valproi
