title: High-performance liquid chromatographic determination of phenol, 4-nitrophenol, beta-naphthol and a number of their glucuronide and sulphate conjugates in organ perfusate.
abstract: This paper describes a simple and more sensitive reversed-phase HPLC method for the quantification of phenol, 4-nitrophenol and beta-naphthol and some of their glucuronide and sulphate conjugates in aqueous solution and liver perfusate buffer. Methanol-water mobile phases with ion-pairing agents for each phenolic group are detailed. The assay showed good recovery, accuracy and precision and is suitable for the quantification of these phenolic compounds in liver perfusion experiments.
