Product Information

• Name: (R)-Ketoprofen b-D-glucuronide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (R)-Ketoprofen b-D-glucuronide is a synthetic modified sugar that is produced by the glucuronidation of ketoprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. The modification of ketoprofen with glucuronic acid can be achieved through an enzymatic process, which is catalyzed by UDP-glucuronyltransferase. This modification increases the solubility of ketoprofen and its ability to penetrate cells. (R)-Ketoprofen b-D-glucuronide has been shown to have antibacterial properties against Gram positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes. It has also shown antiviral activity against HIV-1 due to its inhibition of reverse transcriptase, which is an enzyme important for viral replication.
