| Human cytochrome P-450PA (P-450IA2), the phenacetin O-deethylase, is primarily responsible for the hepatic 3-demethylation of caffeine and N-oxidation of carcinogenic arylamines. Phenacetin - no longer available in many countries, including the United States - bears a strong chemical resemblance to acetaminophen, and some scientists say phenacetin's dangers hint at possible hidden risks for chronic users of its still-opular analgesic cousin. Other risk factors include exposure to asbestos, cadmium, or gasoline, and the use of certain pain medications containing phenacetin. |
