Ethyl β-D-glucuronide

Description:
Ethyl β-D-glucuronide (EtG) is a metabolite of ethanol, formed through the conjugation of ethanol with glucuronic acid. It is a colorless, water-soluble compound that is often used as a biomarker for alcohol consumption due to its presence in urine and other biological fluids after ethanol intake. EtG is characterized by its stability, which allows it to be detected for a longer period compared to ethanol itself, making it a useful tool in alcohol testing. The compound is non-volatile and has a relatively low molecular weight. Its synthesis involves the enzymatic action of UDP-glucuronosyltransferases, which facilitate the transfer of glucuronic acid to various substrates, including ethanol. Ethyl β-D-glucuronide is also of interest in pharmacology and toxicology, as it can provide insights into alcohol metabolism and its effects on the body. Due to its specific formation from ethanol, it serves as a reliable indicator of recent alcohol consumption, aiding in both clinical and forensic investigations.
