Identification of radiolabeled metabolites of nicotine in rat bile. Synthesis of S-(-)-nicotine N-glucuronide and direct separation of nicotine-derived conjugates using high-performance liquid chromatography

J Chromatogr. 1993 Nov 17;621(1):49-53.

Abstract

Four metabolites of nicotine, including two glucuronides, have been separated by high-performance liquid chromatography. This separation was applied to identification of biliary metabolites of radiolabeled nicotine by radiometric detection. S-(-)-Nicotine N-glucuronide was synthesized and used as a standard in method development.
