Gemfibrozil 1-O-β-Glucuronide is an active metabolite formed through the biotransformation of gemfibrozil by the action of glucuronosyltransferase enzymes. In biochemical research, this compound is used to study the chemical kinetics and metabolism of gemfibrozil, as well as the role of glucuronidation in drug clearance. It serves as a key reference substance for the development and validation of analytical methods such as liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS), which are employed to monitor the levels of gemfibrozil and its metabolites in biological samples. Research involving Gemfibrozil 1-O-β-Glucuronide contributes to a broader understanding of the metabolism of lipid-regulating agents and the factors that influence their biotransformation. The compound is also used in in vitro studies to examine the interactions between metabolites and transport proteins, such as those involved in renal and hepatic excretion.
