1. Demerol is hydrolyzed by the livers of various animals but not by any of the other tissues tested.
2. The hydrolysis is inhibited by eserine and by fluoride.
3. The enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis is distinct from the tropine esterases, cholinesterases, and the esterases which hydrolyze aliphatic esters.
