Entropy-driven binding of gut bacterial β-glucuronidase inhibitors ameliorates irinotecan-induced toxicity

Hsien-Ya Lin, Chia-Yu Chen, Ting-Chien Lin and colleagues perform structure-guided modifications of the compound uronic isofagomaine in order to engineer a highly specific and potent inhibitor of gut bacterial β-glucuronidases (GUSs). The authors present eight crystal structures and demonstrate in v...
