• Abstract:

  Several drugs are known to form both glucuronide and glucoside conjugates in vivo. Morphine forms 3- and 6-glucuronides and the 3-glucoside, while mycophenolic acid (MPA) primarily forms a phenolic glucuronide and glucoside. This study aimed to characterise the comparative kinetics of morphine and MPA conjugation with glucuronic acid and glucose..
