Although there are numerous studies of glucuronidation of
endogenous compounds, information on the glucuronidation of fatty acids
is lacking. In the present studies, both linoleic acid (LA) and its
biologically active oxidized derivatives, 13-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (13-HODE) and 13-oxooctadecadienoic acid (13-OXO), have been shown
to be effective substrates for human liver UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT) and recombinant UGT2B7. LA (carboxyl glucuronide) and 13-OXO (carboxyl glucuronide, unproven) were actively glucuronidated by human
liver microsomes (HLM) and human recombinant UGT2B7 with similar
activities, in the range of 2 nmol/mg · min. The hydroxyl derivative of LA, 13-HODE, was glucuronidated at both the hydroxyl and
carboxyl functions with carboxyl glucuronidation predominating (ratio
of COOH/OH, 2:1). For all substrates, the Km
for formation of the carboxyl-linked glucuronide was in the range of
100 to 200 µM while that for the hydroxyl-linked glucuronide was
somewhat lower (>100 µM). This is the first demonstration of
glucuronidation of LA and its oxidized derivatives, 13-HODE and 13-OXO,
by HLM and recombinant UGT2B7.
