A GENERAL CHROMATOGRAPHIC SURVEY OF AROMATIC COMPOUNDS OBTAINED FROM URINE

Abstract
Aromatic compounds contained in both normal and schizophrenic urines have been extracted by several methods and the resultant extracts examined by two-dimensional paper chromatography with a variety of spray reagents. A comprehensive map plus tables summarize the data obtained on over 200 "aromatic" spots found in various urine extracts. Data are given on fractionation of the extracts. To allow comparison of one extract with another, an attempt was made to maintain quantitative control of the extraction, fractionation, and chromatographic procedures.
