Studies in detoxication. 25. The characterization of phenylglucuronide, and its rate of hydrolysis compared with that of phenylsulphuric acid

Abstract
Phenylglucuronide was prepared biosynthetically with rabbits and characterized. It normally occurs as a dihydrate; its benzylamine salt was described. The u.-v. absorption spectrum of the glucuronide in water was determined and discussed in relation to that of phenol. Phenylsulphuric acid is hydrolyzed by acid at 93-95[degree] at least 50 times as rapidly as is phenylglucuronide.
