General description

D-(+)-Glucuronic acid γ-lactone (Glucourono-γ-lactone, Glucurone or Glycurone) is a carbohydrate derivative. It converted into L-ascorbic acid in animals and human body. Its molecule contains two five-membered rings. Its crystal structure has been studied.

Application

D-(+)-Glucuronic acid γ-lactone may be used in the following studies:
  • As starting ragent in the synthesis of 2,3,4,-tris(tert.-butyldimethysilyl) glucuronic acid trichloroethylester, required for the preparation of 1-O-acyl glucuronide of the anti-inflammatory drug ML-3000.
  • Synthesis of optically active glucopyranoses.
  • Synthesis of long-chain alkyl glucofuranosides.

The degradation kinetics of glucuronic acid (GlcA) under subcritical conditions from 160 to 200 degrees C was studied in a continuous tubular reactor. The formation of glucuronolactone (GlcL) during the treatment of GlcA in subcritical water was substantiated by ESI-TOF-MS

Energy drink consumption has been anecdotally linked with sudden cardiac death and, more recently, myocardial infarction. As myocardial infarction is strongly associated with both platelet and endothelial dysfunction, we tested the hypothesis that energy drink consumption alters platelet and endothelial

The effect of feeding 0.25% ethionine for 3-10 weeks to male and female rats on urinary and tissue ascorbate contents were studied. The concentrations of ascorbic acid in the urine, blood, liver and adrenals were significantly reduced in the rats
