Documented Uses

• Acetamide, N,N-diethyl-: ACTIVE
• DIETHYLACETAMIDE- AN EXAMPLE OF DRUG ABUSE.
• SOLVENTS WERE TESTED IN MICE FOR THEIR TOXICITY, CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM PROFILE, AND ACTIVITY IN THE INCLINED SCREEN AND BALANCE ROD TESTS AFTER INTRAPERITONEAL ADMINISTRATION, PLUS THEIR INFLUENCE ON THE HEXABARBITONE SLEEPING TIME AND MUSCLE RELAXANT PROPERTIES ON THE ROTA-ROD AFTER ORAL ADMINISTRATION. N,N-DIETHYLACETAMIDE WAS RECOMMENDED NOT TO EXCEED A CONCENTRATION OF 0.3 IN DRUG SOLUTIONS AS SOLVENT FOR SCREENING PURPOSES.
• IN MICE, THE DISCREPANCY BETWEEN IN VITRO & IN VIVO LIVER ENZYME INHIBITION ACTIVITY MAY BE DUE TO OXIDATIVE N-DEALKYLATION OF N,N-DIETHYLACETAMIDE OCCURRING IN VIVO, FACILITATING THE INHIBITION.
