    Abstract:
    Incubation of [3H]retinoic acid in the presence of hamster liver 10000g supernatant produces several metabolites that are more polar than the parent compound. Two of these metabolites are identical with synthetic all-trans-4-hydroxyretinoic acid and all-trans-4-oxoretinoic acid both in ultraviolet absorption and mass spectral characteristics and in migration rates on two different reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatographic systems. The metabolites produced in a cell-free liver incubation reaction also migrate on a high-pressure liquid chromatography column together with metabolites isolated from a tracheal organ culture system. Both the metabolites and the synthetic standards show less biological activity than the parent all-trans-retinoic acid in a tracheal organ culture assay.
