Biological Activity

[Description]:

Monoethylglycinexylidide (MEGX) hydrochloride is a metabolite of Lidocain (HY-B0185) via oxidative N-deethylation of Lignocaine by liver cytochrome P-450 enzymes in the liver. Monoethylglycinexylidide has proven to be a highly sensitive indicator of hepatic dysfunction, especially in the field of liver transplantation[1][2].
