Description

4-Methylumbelliferyl a-L-idopyranosiduronic acid is an ester that is used as a marker for the identification of glycolipids. It is a fluorogenic substrate for alpha-L-iduronidase used as a marker for the diagnosis of autoimmune diseases, including diabetic neuropathy. 4-Methylumbelliferyl a-L-idopyranosiduronic acid has been shown to inhibit inflammation and cancer, although it is not currently approved for this use. The mechanism by which 4-methylumbelliferyl a-L-idopyranosiduronic acid inhibits inflammation may be due to its ability to block cation channels on the surface of cells, thereby preventing inflammatory mediators from entering cells.
