Description:Methyl β-D-glucuronide sodium, with the CAS number 58189-74-5, is a sodium salt of a glucuronic acid derivative. This compound is characterized by its solubility in water, which is typical for many glucuronides due to their polar nature. It is often used in biochemical and pharmaceutical applications, particularly in drug metabolism studies, as it can serve as a model substrate for glucuronidation reactions. The presence of the methyl group enhances its lipophilicity compared to its parent glucuronic acid, potentially influencing its biological activity and interactions. Methyl β-D-glucuronide sodium is generally stable under standard laboratory conditions but may be sensitive to extreme pH levels or prolonged exposure to heat. Its role in conjugation reactions is significant, as it can facilitate the detoxification and excretion of various xenobiotics and endogenous compounds. Overall, this compound is a valuable tool in the study of metabolic pathways and the development of therapeutic agents.
