title: In vitro synthesis of fluorescein monoglucuronide.
abstract: A simple, economical method for the in vitro synthesis of milligram amounts of fluorescein monoglucuronide is presented. The compound can be synthesized in 1 day, and 2 chromatographic steps result in complete purification. The synthetic fluorescein monoglucuronide was found to be identical to biosynthetic fluorescein monoglucuronide by spectrophotometric and fluorometric criteria.
