β-Glucuronidase, a member of the 2 glycosyl hydrolase family, is involved in the hydrolysis of β-glucuronic acid residues from the non-reducing termini of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). β-Glucuronidase catalyzes the complete hydrolysis of urinary conjugates. β-Glucuronidase serves as a possible candidate enzyme for gene-mediated enzyme prodrug therapy for glucuronide prodrugs. β-glucuronidase-responsive albumin binding prodrugs might be an effective therapeutic practice for treating solid tumors.

The design of novel antitumor agents allowing the destruction of malignant cells while sparing healthy tissues is one of the major challenges in medicinal chemistry. In this context, the use of non-toxic prodrugs programmed to be selectively activated by beta-glucuronidase

Gene-mediated enzyme prodrug therapy (GDEPT) seeks to increase the therapeutic index of anti-neoplastic agents by promoting selective activation of relatively nontoxic drug derivatives at sites of specific enzyme expression. Glucuronide prodrugs are attractive for GDEPT due to their low toxicity

Glycosyl hydrolases hydrolyze the glycosidic bond either in carbohydrates or between carbohydrate and non-carbohydrate moiety. The beta-glucuronidase (beta D-glucuronoside glucuronosohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.31) enzyme belongs to the family-2 glycosyl hydrolase. The E. coli borne beta-glucuronidase gene (uidA) was devised as a
