Abstract
Methods are described for the determination of acetanilide and its metabolites. The procedure for acetanilide permits estimation of as little as 4 micrograms of the compound, that for aniline as little as 0.25 micrograms, for N-acetyl p-aminophenol and total conjugated p-aminophenol as little as 10 micrograms.
A comparison of the solubility characteristics of the authentic compounds and the apparent compounds extracted from the plasma and urine of subjects receiving acetanilide, indicates that the methods have a high degree of specificity.
