(Received 21 July 1948) We have shown thatacetanilide is converted in the 1. The ethereal sulphate fraction of phenacetin rabbit mainly into the glucuronide and ethereal urine sulphate of p-acetamidophenol (Smith & Williams, 1948), not more than 6-7 % being excreted as (a) Detection of free p-ph netidine compounds containing free aromaticamino groups. 24 hr. urine (11.), collected after the feeding of 15 g. Phenacetin has antipyretic and analgesic properties phenacetin, was evaporated in vacuo at 40-50° to 200 ml. Phenetidine was in the distillate by the persimilar to thoeoactaie,utsesstoxc manganate-like colour gives with FeCl3, but could not similar pharmacological properties suggest that be isolated in sufficient amount for identification. The conphenacetin may give rise to the same metabolites centrated urine was saturated with (NH4)2SO4 and then as acetanilide, and in this paper we shall show that extracted with 2 x 200 ml. portions of acetone. The acetone this suggestion is true. extract was separated (leaving an aqueous layer G conEarlier workers showed that phenacetin caused taming glucuronide, see section 2 (b) (i)), neutralized with an increased output of ethereal sulphate in man, the solid K2C08, fitered and reduced to 50 ml. in vacuo. The dog and the rabbit (Muller, 1888; Morner, 1889; residue B was shaken with 500 ml. dry acetone and the Baccarani, 1900; Hinsberg & Kast, 1887; Mahnert, supernatant layer separated and reduced to 50 ml.

C was now extracted with ether and the extract on 8endls ornate from isolated e p ot pass ium t p rcet g evaporation yielded a small oily residue (D) which appeared phenylsphate from th e urineof patientscreeivi by colour tests to be phenetidine. D was dissolved in 1 ml. phenacetin orally. The presence of a glucuro nide 2-HCI, f fitered, neutralized with dilute Na2003 solution and of compounds of p-aminophenol in phenacetin and extracted with ether. The extract was evaporated, and urine from man, the dog and the rabbit was also the residue treated with a little acetic anhydride and dilute suggested by this early work. According to Muller Na2C03 solution.
