Epoxide hydrolase (EH) converts epoxides to trans-dihydrodiols which are excreted from the body. Thus, EH acts as a detoxification agent. Epoxides are formed from degradation of aromatic compounds. FunctionDiseaseInhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis EH such as urea derivatives, are used as anti-tuberculosis drugs. The valpromide inhibitor of EH is used as anti-epileptic drug.
