Results and discussion

Metabolite characterisation studies

Metabolites identified:
yes
Details on metabolites:
The greater part of a dose of p-methylanisole is oxidized to anisic acid; about 27% is, however, demethylated & excreted mainly as p-cresol. Anisic acid is excreted mainly as ester glucuronide & anisuric acid.
