Preferred Label : Glucuronidase Inhibitor;
NCIt synonyms : beta-Glucuronidase Inhibitors; beta-D-Glucuronidase Inhibitors;
NCIt definition : Any substance that inhibits glucuronidase, an enzyme involved in the hydrolysis of
glucuronic acid from glucuronides. One of the key processes by which the human body
eliminates toxic chemicals and hormones is by glucuronidation. When beta-glucuronidase
deconjugates these glucuronides, it prolongs the stay of the hormone or toxic chemical
in the body. Inhibition of glucuronidase can produce chemoprotective effects.;
