Metabolite Identification
Common NameN-Acetylarylamine
DescriptionN-Acetylarylamine is an odourless solid chemical of leaf or flake-like appearance. It is also known as acetanilide, N-phenylacetamide, acetanil, or acetanilid, and was formerly known by the trade name Antifebrin. N-Acetylarylamine has analgesic and fever-reducing properties; it is in the same class of drugs as acetaminophen (paracetamol). Under the name acetanilid it formerly figured in the formula of a number of patent medicines and over the counter drugs. In 1948, Julius Axelrod and Bernard Brodie discovered that acetanilide is much more toxic in these applications than other drugs, causing methemoglobinemia and ultimately doing damage to the liver and kidneys. As such, acetanilide has largely been replaced by less toxic drugs, in particular acetaminophen, which is a metabolite of acetanilide and whose use Axelrod and Brodie suggested in the same study.
