Notes: Propacetamol is a prodrug form of the analgesic and antipyretic agent acetaminophen (Item No. 10024).{64719} It is converted to acetaminophen by rat liver microsomes. Propacetamol reduces acetic acid-induced writhing in mice and LPS-induced pyresis in rats when administered at doses of 200 and 600 mg/kg, respectively.{64719,64720} Propacetamol (1,200 mg/kg) induces hepatotoxicity, decreases hepatic glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) levels, increases hepatic malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitrotyrosine levels, and increases mortality in mice.{64721}
