|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | - | - | 18.6 min, 350 nm | |
| 1 | pHLM (Xenotech) | Nonea | - | No |
| 1 | pHLM (BD Biosciences) | Nonea | - | No |
| 1 | UGT1A1 (BD Biosciences) | Nonea | - | No |
| 1 | UGT1A3 (BD Biosciences) | Nonea | - | No |

| Raltegravir | pHLM (Xenotech) | Glucuronide | 16.4 min, 300 nm | Yes |
| Raltegravir | pHLM (BD Biosciences) | Glucuronide | 16.4 min, 300 nm | Yes |
| Raltegravir | UGT1A1 (BD Biosciences) | Glucuronide | 16.4 min, 300 nm | Yes |
| Estradiol | - | - | 27.9 min, 280 nm | |
| Estradiolb | pHLM (BD Biosciences) | Glucuronides (two) | 9.7 min, 11.2 min, 280 nm | Yes |
| Estradiolb | UGT1A1 (BD Biosciences) | Glucuronide | 9.6 min, 280 nm | Yes |
| Methylumbelliferone | - | - | 21.1 min, 318 nm | |
| Methylumbelliferoneb | pHLM (Xenotech) | Glucuronide | 6.1 min, 318 nm | Yes |
| Trifluoperazine | - | - | 19.2, 256 nm | |
| Trifluoperazineb | pHLM (Xenotech) | N-Glucuronide | 18.0 min, 256 nm | Yes |
The glucuronide of compound 1, if formed, would have been observed at a retention time of approximately 8 min. However, no such peak in the HPLC chromatograms using 254 nm, 300 nm or 350 nm detection wavelengths was observed.
Estradiol, 4-methylumbelliferone and trifluoperazine were used as positive control substrates.
