D-Saccharic acid 1,4-lactone monohydrate has been used as a constituent of phosphate buffer to block incidental β-glucuronidase activity in Streptococcus pneumoniae hyaluronan lyase (SpnHL) activity assay. It has also been used as a component of reaction mixture in Iduronidase activity assay and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1 (UGT1A1) inhibition assay.
D-Saccharic acid 1,4-lactone monohydrate (DSAL) has an ability to inhibit the activity of β-glucuronidase enzyme.It also potentially inhibits Klotho deglycosylation of excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) and peptide transporters (PEPTs).
