Abstract

Tritiated TCDD was incubated with isolated rat hepatocytes and the resulting incubation mixture subjected to high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The major peak of radioactivity not corresponding to TCDD was incubated with β-glucuronidase. The products of this reaction were derivatized with diazomethane and again subjected to HPLC. Two of the radioactive metabolites isolated by this procedure were found to co-migrate with authentic 1-methoxy-2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin and 8-methoxy-2,3,7-trichlorodibenzo-p-dioxin. The identity of these metabolites was also confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
