N-acetyl-5-Aminosalicylic acid is a metabolite of the anti-inflammatory agent 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA; Item No. 70265) and its prodrug form, sulfasalazine (Item No. 15025).{42753,8455} It is formed in the liver, intestinal lumen, and colonic epithelial cells via N-acetyltransferases.{42754} It reduces IFN-? binding to colonic epithelial cells by 24% when used at a concentration of 10 mM.{42756} N-acetyl-5-Aminosalicylic acid (100 µM) scavenges 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH; Item No. 14805) radicals in a cell-free assay and inhibits base hydroxylation in DNA stimulated by hydroxy radicals.{42753,42755} Unlike sulfasalazine, N-acetyl-5-aminosalicylic acid does not inhibit 15-hydroxy prostaglandin dehydrogenase (PGDH).{8455} Urinary levels of N-acetyl-5-aminosalicylic acid have been used as a marker of 5-ASA adherence in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.{42757}
