The modification of a xenobiotic substance by the conjugation of glucuronic acid. The resultant glucuronosides are often much more water-soluble than the xenobiotic precursor, enabling efficient excretion. [GOC:BHF, PMID:20056724]
Xenobiotic glucuronidation is a key detoxification process that modifies foreign compounds (xenobiotics) into more water-soluble forms, facilitating their excretion from the body. The process involves the covalent attachment of glucuronic acid, a sugar molecule, to xenobiotics via the action of UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs). UGTs are a family of enzymes found primarily in the liver, but also in other tissues like the intestine, kidney, and brain. They utilize UDP-glucuronic acid as a donor molecule, transferring the glucuronic acid moiety to the xenobiotic substrate. This conjugation process typically occurs on hydroxyl, carboxyl, amino, and sulfhydryl groups of the xenobiotic, leading to the formation of glucuronide conjugates. Glucuronidation alters the physicochemical properties of xenobiotics, making them more water-soluble and less likely to accumulate in tissues. The enhanced water solubility allows for efficient excretion of the modified xenobiotics through urine and bile. Glucuronidation plays a critical role in protecting the body from the harmful effects of xenobiotics by reducing their toxicity, inhibiting their absorption, and promoting their elimination. The process is highly important in handling a diverse range of xenobiotics, including drugs, environmental pollutants, dietary components, and even endogenous compounds like bilirubin. Variations in UGT enzyme activity and expression can affect the rate of glucuronidation, leading to differences in drug metabolism and susceptibility to toxicity.'
