title: Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of tert.-butyldimethylsilyl derivatives of 2-acetylaminofluorene and metabolites in isolated rat hepatocytes.
abstract: A new technique for the conversion of 2-acetylaminofluorene and several ring-hydroxylated metabolites to mono- and di-tert.-butyldimethylsilyl derivatives was developed to permit their analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in order to quantify the metabolism of 2-acetylaminofluorene incubated in freshly isolated rat hepatocytes. This new gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method allowed the separation, identification and quantitation of seven known metabolites comprising five arylhydroxylated compounds, 2-aminofluorene and N-hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene.
