Metoclopramide N4-β-D-glucuronide is an analog of metoclopramide, a medication used to treat nausea and vomiting. This compound has been found in human urine and has shown potential as an anticancer agent. It works by inhibiting kinases, which are enzymes involved in cell signaling pathways that regulate cell growth and division. Metoclopramide N4-β-D-glucuronide has been studied for its ability to inhibit the growth of cancer cells and induce apoptosis (cell death) in Chinese hamster ovary cells. It may have potential as a medicinal inhibitor of protein kinase activity for cancer treatment.
