GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS

Acetaminophen is an odorless, slightly bitter taste white crystalline powder. It is soluble in organic solvents such as methanol and ethanol but slightly soluble in water and ether. It's pH range is 5.5 - 6.5 based on saturated aqueous solution. It, chemically N-(4-Hydroxyphenyl) acetamide, is derived from the interaction of p-aminophenol and an aqueous solution of acetic anhydride. Acetaminophen is a nonprescription analgesic and antipyretic drug similar to aspirin. But acetaminophen is not an NSAID (Nonsteroidal Antiinflammatory Drug) as it doesn't participate in the inflammatory response. But acetaminophen is not an NSAID as it doesn't participate in the inflammatory response as it can not inhibit cyclooxygenases in the presence of peroxides. There are high levels of peroxides in platelets. Prostaglandin which reduces blood coagulation is produced through cyclooxygenase pathway. In result, NSAIDs including aspirin have detrimental effects on the stomach lining, where prostaglandins serve a protective role, but paracetamol has almost no adverse effects on the stomach or esophagus. Taking large doses of acetaminophen for a long time may impair liver function to some liver damage. Paracetamol (para-acetyl-amino-phenol) is another name of acetaminophen (N-acetyl-para-aminophenol). It is also used as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals(as a precursor in penicillin) and azo dyes, stabilizer for hydrogen peroxide, photographic chemicals.
