O-Glucuronides of arylhydroxylamines have not been previously reported in the literature. The facile removal of the AT-acetyl group from sodium (N-acetyl-A-2-fluorenylhydroxylamine /3-D-glucosid)uronate has led to the synthesis of sodium (AT-2-fluorenylhydroxylamine /3-D-glucosid)uronate. This latter glucuronide is unstable in aqueous solutions, decomposing completely within several minutes; the products of the decomposition have not yet been characterized. Sodium (Ar-2-fluoren-9-14C-ylhydroxylamine (J-D-glucosid)uronate has been synthesized and the compound reacts with RNA and DNA in vitro, resulting in the covalent binding of radioactivity to the nucleic acids. This glucuronide reacts with guanosine 5'-monophosphate to give 8-(tV-2-fluorenylamino)guanosine 5 '-monophosphate, but does not react with the 5'-monophosphates of uridine, cytidine, or adenosine. It is proposed that the O-glucuronide of 7V-2-fluorenylhydroxylamine might be formed as an intermediate metabolite of the carcinogen A'-acetyl-A'-2-fluorenylhydroxylamine, thus accounting, at least in part, for the observed binding of this carcinogen to rat liver DNA in vivo.
