celecoxib carboxylic acid acyl β d glucuronide

Celecoxib carboxylic acid acyl-β-D-glucuronide is a phase II metabolite of celecoxib . Celecoxib is an anti-inflammatory compound from the diaryl heterocycle class that selectively inhibits cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2; IC50s = 22.9 and 0.05 μM for COX-1 and COX-2, respectively). Celecoxib carboxylic acid acyl-β-D-glucuronide is a minor metabolite, accounting for 2% of the administered dose in human urine and rat bile.
