Abstract

1. Pyrene was administered i.p. as a single dose to trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Urine was collected continuously for 3 days and bile sampled at the end of this period. Pyrene metabolites in these biological fluids were identified by 1H-nmr spectrometry, glc-ms and hplc-ms.

2. 1-Hydroxypyrene was the major oxidation metabolite in the urine and bile. Small amounts of 1,6-dihydroxypyrene and a putative 1,8-dihydroxypyrene metabolite also were detected. Unchanged pyrene was not found in any of these biological fluids.

3. Both free and conjugated metabolites of pyrene were found in the bile and urine. The majority of the pyrene metabolites in the bile were conjugated with glucuronic acid or sulphate.
