The advanced oxidation chemistry of the antipyretic drug paracetamol (1) with the UV/H(2)O(2) system was investigated by an integrated methodology based on (15)N-labeling and GC-MS, HPLC, and 2D (1)H, (13)C, and (15)N NMR analysis. Main degradation pathways derived from three hydroxylation steps, leading to 1,4-hydroquinone/1,4-benzoquinone, 4-acetylaminocatechol and, to a much lesser extent, 4-acetylaminoresorcine. Oxidation of the primary aromatic intermediates, viz. 4-acetylaminocatechol, 1,4-hydroquinone, 1,4-benzoquinone, and 1,2,4-benzenetriol, resulted in a series of nitrogenous and non-nitrogenous degradation products. The former included N-acetylglyoxylamide, acetylaminomalonic acid, acetylaminohydroxymalonic acid, acetylaminomaleic acid, diastereoisomeric 2-acetylamino-3-hydroxybutanedioic acids, 2-acetylaminobutenedioic acid, 3-acetylamino-4-hydroxy-2-pentenedioic acid, and 2,4-dihydroxy-3-acetylamino-2-pentenedioic acid, as well as two muconic and hydroxymuconic acid derivatives. (15)N NMR spectra revealed the accumulation since the early stages of substantial amounts of acetamide and oxalic acid monoamide. These results provide the first insight into the advanced oxidation chemistry of a 4-aminophenol derivative by the UV/H(2)O(2) system, and highlight the investigative potential of integrated GC-MS/NMR methodologies based on (15)N-labeling to track degradation pathways of nitrogenous species.
Preferred orientations in the binding of 4'-hydroxyacetanilide (acetaminophen) to cytochrome P450 1A1 and 2B1 isoforms as determined by 13C- and 15N-NMR relaxation studies

The widely used analgesic/antipyretic agent 4'-hydroxyacetanilide (acetaminophen, APAP) is oxidized by cytochromes P450 to a potent cytotoxin, N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI), and a nontoxic catechol, 3',4'- dihydroxyacetanilide (3-hydroxyacetaminop
