1-Naphthol β-D-glucuronide, also known as 1-Naphthyl glucuronide, is a metabolite that arises from the breakdown of naphthalene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon found in environmental pollutants like cigarette smoke and diesel exhaust. The liver enzymatically produces this compound through UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT), which is later eliminated through urine. Extensive research has been conducted on this substance, exploring its potential as a biomarker for naphthalene and other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon exposures. In occupational and environmental studies, 1-Naphthol β-D-glucuronide has been widely employed as a biomarker of naphthalene exposure. Moreover, it has played a role in investigating the metabolism and toxicokinetics of naphthalene in both humans and animals.
