title: Glucuronic acid conjugates.
abstract: The methods of assay in body fluids of 1-beta-alkyl, 1-beta-phenyl and 1-beta-acyl glucuronic acids ("glucuronide conjugates") have been reviewed. Most of the 78 references cited (from the literature of the period 1990-1997) concern the glucuronide conjugates of drug metabolites, and these have been considered, for reasons of accessibility, within sections of individual drug classes such as analgesics, anti-cancer agents and opioids. Other glucuronide conjugates are considered under "miscellaneous compounds". A few gas chromatography and capillary electrophoresis methods are described, but the major technique of assay (62 citations) is reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography.
