1. Methods are described for the determination of acetophenetidin and p-phenetidin in biological fluids and tissues.
2. The route of metabolism of acetophenetidin in man is as follows: the major fraction of the drug is rapidly deethylated to N-acetyl p-aminophenol; this compound is excreted in a conjugated form; a minor fraction deacetylates to form p-phenetidin; this compound was shown to be the precursor of the substance which oxidizes hemoglobin to methemoglobin. The analgesic and antipyretic action of acetophenetidin is exerted mainly through N-acetyl p-aminophenol which is an active analgesic and antipyretic.
