β-Glucuronidase. D-Saccharic acid 1,4-lactone hydrate is a potent and specific inhibitor of β-glucuronidase, a lysosomal enzyme that hydrolyzes glucuronides. By inhibiting this enzyme, DSAL prevents the hydrolysis of glucuronide conjugates, thereby affecting the enterohepatic circulation of drugs and endogenous compounds. It also potentially inhibits Klotho deglycosylation of excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) and peptide transporters (PEPTs).

| ln Vitro |
In vitro, D-Saccharic acid 1,4-lactone hydrate is a potent inhibitor of β-glucuronidase, with an IC50 of 48.4 μM. It is used as a standard inhibitor in enzyme assays to study β-glucuronidase activity and to validate the specificity of the assay. Its activity is measured by its ability to inhibit the hydrolysis of a fluorogenic or chromogenic substrate, such as 4-methylumbelliferyl-β-D-glucuronide (4-MUG).

| ln Vivo |
In vivo, D-Saccharic acid 1,4-lactone hydrate is used as a research tool to study the role of β-glucuronidase in various physiological and pathological processes. By inhibiting this enzyme, it can modulate drug metabolism and the enterohepatic circulation of compounds. It has also been studied for its potential anticarcinogenic and detoxifying effects in animal models.

| Enzyme Assay |
The inhibitory activity of D-Saccharic acid 1,4-lactone hydrate on β-glucuronidase is measured in a cell-free enzyme assay. Purified β-glucuronidase is incubated with a fluorogenic substrate, such as 4-methylumbelliferyl-β-D-glucuronide (4-MUG), in the presence of varying concentrations of the inhibitor. The fluorescence generated by the hydrolysis of the substrate is measured, and the IC50 is calculated.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
