Abstract

Attack by .OH radicals, generated by a Fenton system, upon salicylate produces 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoate as major products and catechol as a minor product. H.p.l.c. separation combined with electrochemical detection was used to identify and quantify 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoate in human plasma and synovial fluid. We propose that conversion of salicylate into 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate, or of other aromatic compounds into specific hydroxylated products, may be a useful assay for .OH formation in the human body.
