Kinetic analysis of UGTs-induced O-glucuronidation of trans- and cis-endoxifen

All data are the mean ± S.D. based on three independent experiments. Homogenates from cells overexpressing UGTs 1A6, 2B4, 2B10, or 2B11 exhibited no detectable glucuronidating activity against endoxifen.

  • N.D., not detectable.

  • a Low activity describes that fact that although some glucuronidation activity was observed for that UGT against a particular TAM metabolite, the level of detection was below sensitivity for kinetic studies.
