General description

Phenacetin Melting Point Standard (Phenacetin) is a lipid-soluble drug with moderate solubility with aqueous solvents. Its oral absorption is based on formulation factors like particle size. Its major metabolic route is O-dealkylation to paracetamol and its minor pathways are deacetylation and hydroxylation to form pphenetidine, 2-hydroxyphenetidine, 2- and 3-hydroxyphenacetin and N-hydroxyphenacetin.

Application

Phenacetin Melting Point Standard USP reference standard, intended for use in specified quality tests and assays as specified in the USP compendia.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Substrate of CYP1A2 and CYP2D6.

Six epidemiologic studies in the United States and Europe indicate that habitual use of phenacetin is associated with the development of chronic renal failure and end-stage renal disease (ESRD), with a relative risk in the range of 4 to 19.
J A Hinson
Environmental health perspectives, 49, 71-79 (1983-03-01)
Phenacetin can be metabolized to reactive metabolites by a variety of mechanisms. (1) Phenacetin can be N-hydroxylated, and the resulting N-hydroxyphenacetin can be sulfated or glucuronidated. Whereas phenacetin N-O sulfate immediately rearranges to form a reactive metabolite which may covalently
