Raloxifene 4’-glucuronide is a metabolite of the selective estrogen receptor modulator raloxifene . It is formed from raloxifene via the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) isoforms UGT1A1, UGT1A8, and UGT1A10. It binds to the estrogen receptor with an IC value of 370 nM. Raloxifene 4’-glucuronide inhibits the voltage-gated potassium channel K4.3 by 6.2 and 20.1% when used at concentrations of 10 and 30 µM, respectively.
Raloxifene 4'-Glucuronide is a primary metabolite of Raloxifene. Raloxifene 4'-glucuronide formation is mediated mostly by UGT1A10 and UGT1A8. Raloxifene 4'-glucuronide binds to estrogen receptor with an IC50 of 370 μM. Raloxifene is a selective estrogen receptor modulator. Raloxifene activates TGFβ3 promoter as a full agonist at nanomolar concentrations, and inhibits the estrogen response element-containing vitellogenin promoter expression.

Expressed UGT1A8 catalyzes Raloxifene 4'-glucuronide with an apparent Km of 59 μM and a Vmax of 2.0 nmol/min/mg. Based on rates of Raloxifene glucuronidation and known extrahepatic expression, UGT1A8 and 1A10 appear to be primary contributors to Raloxifene glucuronidation in human jejunum microsomes. For human liver microsomes, the variability of Raloxifene 4'-glucuronide formation is 4-fold. Treatment of expressed UGTs with alamethicin results in minor increases in enzyme activity, whereas in human intestinal microsomes, maximal increases of 9-fold for the Raloxifene 4'-glucuronide are observed. Intrinsic clearance values in intestinal microsomes are 95 μl/min/mg for the Raloxifene 4'-glucuronide.
