Metabolism of diclofenac in plants - Hydroxylation is followed by glucose conjugation

► First report on the metabolism of diclofenac in plants. ► Metabolism of diclofenac in plants follows mammalian metabolism. ► Main primary metabolite is the 4′OH-diclofenac. ► Conjugation leads to the formation of glucopyranosides. ► Plants can enhance the efficiency of waste water treatment.
