Abstract

Metabolites present in the urine and bile of coalfish (Pollachius virens) 48 hrs after the intragastric administration of phenanthrene (75 mg/kg) were studied. Using gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric methods small amounts of unchanged compound, all five of the possible monohydroxy derivatives and the 1,2- and 9,10-dihydrodiols of phenanthrene were identified inthese samples. The major metabolite detected was phenanthrene-1,2-dihydrodiol which was excreted mainly as glucuronide and/or sulfate conjugates.
