UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 2B7 is the major UGT isoform responsible for the 3- and 6-glucuronidation of morphine in humans. Studies in rats have indicated that UGT1A1 may also contribute to the formation of morphine 3-glucuronide (M3G). Our objective was to investigate whether the UGT2B7 H268Y and UGT1A1*28 polymorphisms contribute to the variability in morphine glucuronide-to-morphine plasma ratios among cancer patients undergoing analgesic therapy with morphine.
