Glucuronidation is an important phase II metabolic pathway for endogenous and exogenous substrates and is generally considered as a detoxification pathway, but acyl glucuronides (AGs) have been believed to be related with the toxicity of carboxyl acid drugs, because AGs covalently bind to endogenous proteins owing to their instability. However, the theory remains controversial. In this study, first, in vitro assays of half-lives, peptide adducts and immunostimulation of AGs of 21 drugs were performed, and the relationship to toxic categories of drugs was analyzed. Short half-lives, peptide adducts and immunostimulation were observed in AGs of all withdrawn drugs tested in this study. The immunostimulation assay showed higher sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy than half-lives and peptide adducts assays. Second, responsibility of zomepirac acyl glucuronide (ZP-AG) for renal toxicity by zomepirac (ZP) was investigated by in vivo studies. ZP-induced kidney injury mouse model was established by pretreatment with an esterase inhibitor and a glutathione synthesis inhibitor. It was demonstrated that ZP-AG accumulation in kidney was responsible for the renal toxicity. This study provides new insight into the evaluation of AG toxicity in drug development.
