The relation between blood levels and urinary excretion of amphetamine under controlled acidic and under fluctuating urinary pH values using [ 14C]amphetamine
N‐2‐Cyanoethylamphetamine in man was metabolized rapidly and extensively, as indicated by the analysis of the drug and its metabolite in urine, under acidic and normal conditions. A comparison with the excretion and metabolism of ethylamphetamine under comparable conditions was made. The results were assessed using an analogue computer; a simple one compartmental model sufficed to describe the excretion and metabolism of ethylamphetamine and amphetamine but the additional programming of free amphetamine was necessary for cyanoethylamphetamine because of its very rapid metabolism to amphetamine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
