p-Cresol Glucuronide, is a metabolite of o-Cresol (C781910), which is a compound used as a disinfectant and have also been used as antiseptic in surgery.
P-TOLYL-BETA-D-GLUCURONIDE is a metabolite of o-Cresol (C781910), which is a compound used as a disinfectant and have also been used as antiseptic in surgery.
P-TOLYL-BETA-D-GLUCURONIDE is a glucosiduronic acid that is beta-D-glucuronic acid in which the anomeric hydroxyl hydrogen is replaced by a p-tolyl group.
p-Cresol glucuronide is generated through a process called glucuronidation, which is a phase II metabolism reaction in the liver. In this process, p-cresol, a metabolite produced by the gut microbiota during the breakdown of dietary tyrosine and phenylalanine, undergoes conjugation with glucuronic acid. This conjugation is catalyzed by the enzyme UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) to form p-cresol glucuronide. The resulting glucuronide metabolite is then excreted in the urine. This process plays a crucial role in the elimination of p-cresol from the body.
