Application
4-Methylumbelliferone sodium salt has been used:
- as a substrate to analyze the enzyme kinetics of its glucuronidation in the human liver
- as a standard to quantify the free 4-methylumbelliferone released as a result of enzyme-substrate action
- in cell survival assay to inhibit hyaluronan (HA) production and to study its effect on chemoresistance in ovarian cancer
Biochem/physiol Actions
4-methylumbelliferone (4-MU) serves as a hyaluronan (HA) synthesis blocker. It exhibits anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrogenic, and antitumor properties. 4-MU is used to treat biliary spasms and might also be beneficial in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), inflammation, hepatocyte injury, and fibrotic response. 4-MU is known to be glucuronidated by most of the uridine 5ฺ-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) isoforms of the human liver. This makes it a potent probe substrate to examine the overall hepatic UGTs activity.
General description
4-methylumbelliferone (4-MU) is a coumarin derivative.

Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are a family of lysosomal storage disorders which can lead to degenerative and irreversible skeletal, cardiovascular, pulmonary, and neurological damage. Current treatments, including hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and enzyme replacement therapy, have been found most effective if administered
