Effect of saccharolactone on various UGT activities measured using pooled human liver microsomes (pHLMs) and recombinant UGTs. A substrate concentration of 4 mM was used for the 5-HT assay, 200 μM for the trifluoperazine, 1 mM for codeine, 500 μM for AZT, 5 mM for salicylic acid, and 100 μM for the estradiol assay.
