Notes: Calcium D-glucarate is the calcium salt form of D-glucaric acid.{52800} D-Glucaric acid is an end product of D-glucuronic acid metabolism in mammals that has also been found in fruits and vegetables and has anticancer activity.{52802} It is produced by the oxidation of D-glucuronic acid and is a precursor in the biosynthesis of the β-glucuronidase inhibitor D-glucaro-1,4-lactone (D-saccharic acid 1,4-lactone; Item No. 18896) in vivo.{52800} Dietary administration of calcium D-glucarate (10% w/w) reduces tumor growth in a rat model of mammary tumorigenesis induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA).{52803} Urinary D-glucaric acid levels have been used as a marker for xenobiotic-induced phase II metabolism in patients with rheumatoid arthritis or individuals exposed to environmental toxicants.{52804,52805}
