In vivo, aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is rapidly deacetylated to form salicylic acid, which then undergoes primary or secondary glucuronidation catalyzed by UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs). The variant UGT1A6*2 (T181A, R184S) is associated with altered enzyme function. Our objective was to compare salicylic acid glucuronidation in individuals with different UGT1A6 genotypes.
