Rates of glucuronidation of propranolol enantiomers and their dependence on the presence (racemic mixture) or absence of the other enantiomer

Formation of S-propranolol glucuronide (S-pg) and R-propranolol glucuronide (R-pg) was determined by incubations in the presence of 0.5 mM concentration of the tested enantiomer (in both the presence and absence of the other enantiomer). Values are ±S.D.
