A metabolite of scopolamine. Scopolamine is an acetylcholine antagonist used in treatment of motion sickness, postoperative nausea and vomiting, antispasmodic, mydriatic, preanesthetic medicant. Scopolamine β-D-Glucuronide is a specialized carbohydrate conjugate formed by the glucuronidation of scopolamine, enhancing its solubility and metabolic profile. As a glucuronide derivative, it serves as a valuable standard for enzymatic and metabolic pathway studies, particularly in the investigation of phase II biotransformation processes. The compound is typically supplied as a crystalline powder, facilitating precise handling in biochemical assays. Researchers utilize Scopolamine β-D-Glucuronide to elucidate glucuronidation mechanisms and to monitor metabolite formation in pharmacokinetic and toxicological research.
