Methacetin Usage And Synthesis
Chemical PropertiesLIGHT BEIGE CRYSTALLINE POWDER
UsesMethacetin is evaluated in a breath test to predict early liver disfunction due to valproic acid and other cause. Methacetin breath test (MBT) is a rapid, non-invasive assessment of liver function in acute severe liver disease and a potential key tool in future dignosis.
DefinitionChEBI: Methacetin is a member of the class of acetamides that is paracetamol in which the hydrogen of phenolic hydroxy group has been replaced by a methyl group. It is a member of acetamides and an aromatic ether. It is functionally related to a p-anisidine and a paracetamol.
