Bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) is a medicinal plant traditionally employed for the treatment of urinary tract infections due to high contents of arbutin (hydroquinone β-D-glucoside), which is now mainly used as a natural skin-whitening agent in cosmetics. Bearberry has also been proposed

The most representative constituent of this herbal drug is arbutin that is rapidly absorbed in the small intestine and undergoes hepatic conjugation to form hydroquinone (HQ) conjugates.
Uva-ursi leaf is widely used to treat symptoms of lower urinary tract infections. Here, we evaluated the in vitro inhibitory effects of uva-ursi extracts on 10 major human UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT) isoforms. Of the 10 tested UGT isoforms, uva-ursi extracts exerted the strongest inhibitory
