The synthesis of a number of N ‐acyl‐5‐aminosalicylic acids and their derivatives is described. These compounds allow the sensitive and specific mass spectrometric determination of unlabelled or deuterium‐labelled N ‐acetyl‐5‐aminosalicylic acid in biological samples. An in vivo study shows that the labelled compound, administered to rats, is excreted isotopically unchanged to at least 97%, and that no significant deacety lation/acetylation mechanism exists for this metabolite N ‐acetyl‐5‐aminosalicylic acid of salicylazosulphapyridine.
