Steroids are endogenous compounds, which are present in the body tissues and fluids in free and conjugated forms, e.g. as steroid glucuronide conjugates. First goal of the study was to develop methodologies for the synthesis of steroid glucuronides. An enzyme-assisted synthesis was carried out to produce glucuronide-conjugated steroids at milligram levels. Hepatic microsomal preparations of bovine, porcine, and Arochlor-induced rats were compared with respect to specificity and efficiency of uridine diphosphate glucuronosyl transferase (UGT) enzymes in steroid glucuronidation. Both bovine and porcine liver microsomes efficiently produced the steroid glucuronides of all eight steroids studied, whereas rat liver microsomes produced glucuronid...
