Abstract
A rapid procedure for the determination of naphthalene and its metabolites in bile of rainbow trout and mice is described. The integrated analytical techniques combine high-performance liquid chromatography/ultraviolet fluorescence detection and plasma desorption/chemical ionization mass spectrometry for identification and quantitation. After separation by reverse-phase liquid chromatography, naphthalene and its metabolites are detected and quantitated by ultraviolet fluorescence spectrometry. Identification of two metabolites is confirmed by mass spectrometry. A direct insertion probe tip for a conventional chemical ionization mass spectrometer was modified to obtain spectra of thermally labile compounds. A spectrum of less than 100 ng of naphthyl glucuronide, a labile glucuronic acid conjugate of 1-naphthol, was obtained with this system.Entities:
