Quantitation of Phenolic Benzotriazole Class Compounds in Plasma by Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

ABSTRACT: Phenolic benzotriazoles are used as UV stabilizers in consumer products and have been detected in the environment suggesting potential human exposure. Phenolic benzotriazoles were nominated to the Division of National Toxicology Program for testing based on their potential widespread human exposure and lack of adequate toxicity data. Nine chemicals were selected for toxicological evaluation, representing unsubstituted (2-(2H-benzotriazole-2-yl)phenol, (P-BZT)), monosubstituted (drometrizole; 2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4-tert-butylphenol (tBu-BZT); octrizole), disubstituted (2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4,6-bis(1-methyl-1-phenylethyl)phenol (diMeEtPh-BZT), 2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4,6-bis(1,1-dimethylpropyl)phenol (ditPe-BZT); 3-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-5-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxybenzenepropano
