General description

An analytical reference standard suitable for use as starting material for calibrators or controls for a variety of LC/MS or GC/MS applications from forensic analysis and clinical toxicology to P450 studies and other pharmaceutical research. Acetaminophen, or Paracetamol, is a common over-the-counter COX inhibitor drug used for pain relief and fever reduction.


This substance is listed on the positive list of the EU regulation 10/2011 for plastics intended to come into contact with food. Find all available reference materials for compounds listed in 10/2011 here

Application



  • Enhanced removal of acetaminophen from aqueous solutions: A study utilized kumquat peel-derived biochar supporting zeolitic imidazole framework-67 (ZIF-67) to improve peracetic acid activation for acetaminophen removal, demonstrating an innovative approach to wastewater treatment (Nguyen et al., 2024).


  • Co-doped biochar for acetaminophen degradation: Research on Cu/N co-doped biochar activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) revealed a non-radical degradation pathway for acetaminophen dominated by singlet oxygen and electron transfer, providing insights into sustainable environmental cleanup technologies (Wu et al., 2024).


  • Biodegradation of pharmaceuticals including acetaminophen: A study on anaerobic co-metabolic biodegradation of pharmaceuticals and personal care products highlighted glycerol fermentation as a driving mechanism, offering a feasible strategy for managing environmental contamination from substances like acetaminophen (Carneiro et al., 2024).

The excellent tolerability of therapeutic doses of paracetamol (acetaminophen) is a major factor in the very wide use of the drug. The major problem in the use of paracetamol is its hepatotoxicity after an overdose. Hepatotoxicity has also been reported

Paracetamol is used worldwide for its analgesic and antipyretic actions. It has a spectrum of action similar to that of NSAIDs and resembles particularly the COX-2 selective inhibitors. Paracetamol is, on average, a weaker analgesic than NSAIDs or COX-2 selective

Acetaminophen (APAP) is one of the most widely used drugs. Though safe at therapeutic doses, overdose causes mitochondrial dysfunction and centrilobular necrosis in the liver. The first studies of APAP metabolism and activation were published more than 40 years ago.
