In insects, the precise timing of moulting and metamorphosis is strictly guided by ecdysteroids that are synthesised from dietary cholesterol in prothoracic gland (PG). past decade, several ecdysteroidogenic enzymes, some which encoded Halloween genes, have been identified characterised. Here, we report a novel gene, noppera-bo (nobo), encodes member glutathione S-transferase family. nobo was as gene predominantly expressed PG fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. We generated knock-out mutant,...
UR-1102, a novel uricosuric agent for treating gout, has been confirmed to exhibit pharmacological effect in patients. We clarified its metabolic pathway, estimated the contribution of each enzyme, and assessed impact genetic polymorphisms using human vitro materials.Glucuronide, sulfate oxidative metabolites UR-1102 were detected hepatocytes.The intrinsic clearance by glucuronidation or oxidation liver microsomes was comparable, but sulfation cytosol much lower, indicating that rank order ≥...
