The metabolism of N-ethylaniline has been studied more as a tool to understanding microsomal drug metabolizing activity than as the central item of inquiry. However, the following have been clearly defined as metabolic products of N-ethylaniline: phenylhydroxylamine, N-hydroxyl, N-ethylaniline; N-ethyl-p-aminophenol; and aniline (Appel et al 1965; Heinze 1970; Hlavica 1970; Hlavica and Kiese 1969; Kampffmeyer and Kiese 1965; Kroeber et al 1970; Lange 1967 and Lange 1968). Nonmicrosomal metabolism has not been reported. Species shown capable of metabolism include rabbit, mouse, rat, dog, pig, and guinea pig with the proportions of the various metabolites often species dependent. Compounds similar to N-ethylaniline such as N-methyl-N-ethylaniline can form N-ethylaniline via demethylation (Gorrod et al 1975a,b).
