SN-38 glucuronide is an inactive metabolite of the anticancer active molecule Irinotecan and has toxic effects on the gastrointestinal tract. Irinotecan is a topoisomerase I inhibitor used for researching colon and rectal cancer. SN38-G is the glucuronidated metabolite of SN38. Cells with the ability to metabolize SN38 to SN38-G are more resistant to extracellular SN38 than cells lacking this capability. SN-38 glucuronide can also serve as a substrate for gut microbial β-glucuronidase enzymes, which remove the glucuronic acid moiety to reactivate SN-38, thereby increasing its toxic effects on the gut.
