title: Identification of the major metabolite of 4,4'-thio-bis-(6-t-butyl-m-cresol).
abstract: Metabolism of 4,4'-thio-bis-(2-t-butyl-5-methylphenol)(TBBC) in rats resulted in the formation of a glucuronide conjugate of TBBC. This conjugate was identified by a combination of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry and a tandem mass spectrometric method employing a fast particle ionization technique. A comparison of mass spectral data from the in-vivo metabolite of TBBC and an enzymically synthesized glucuronide conjugate of TBBC showed the metabolite to be the monoglucuronide.
